An investigation is underway ‘to establish the full circumstances of the crash’ on the M90 near Kinross
The police watchdog is set to investigate the circumstances of a crash that killed two men after one of them drove in the wrong direction down a motorway.
Police Scotland said a grey Ford Kuga was seen driving northwards on the southbound carriageway of the M90 close to junction seven near Kinross at around 10.30pm on Friday.
It collided with a white Vauxhall Corsa which was on the southbound part of the motorway. The 44-year-old man driving the Kuga and the 20-year-old man driving the Corsa were both fatally injured.
Police Scotland confirmed a referral has since been made to the Police Investigation and Review Commissioner (PIRC) to investigate.
A spokesperson said: “A referral of the circumstances of the incident has been submitted by Police Scotland’s Professional Standards Department to the Police Investigation and Review Commissioner for consideration.”
Chief inspector Lyne Williamson said on Saturday that an investigation was underway by Police Scotland “to establish the full circumstances of the crash”.
“Anyone who was travelling on the M90 at the time and witnessed what happened, or has dashcam footage that could assist our inquiries, is asked to contact officers as soon as possible,” the chief inspector added.
The M90 was closed southbound between junctions six and seven for around 16 hours to allow an investigation to be carried out.
