Police appeal following A68 crash

SUNDAY 30th JUNE at around 4.20pm

Road policing officers are appealing for information after a crash involving two vehicles on the A68 in the Scottish Borders.

The incident happened near to Camptown south of Jedburgh around 4.20pm yesterday (Sunday, 30 June) and involved a red Ford Transit van and a black Volkswagen Sharan car.

The 14-year-old male front seat passenger from the Volkswagen was taken to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh for treatment to serious injuries.

The 47-year-old female driver of the car and two back seat passengers – an 11-year-old boy and 10-year-old girl – were all taken to Borders General Hospital.

The 47-year-old male driver of the van was also taken to Borders General Hospital. He has been arrested in connection with a road traffic offence and a report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.

The road was closed to allow for an investigation and reopened around 8.30pm.

Sergeant Lee Walkingshaw said: “Our enquiries into this incident are ongoing and we urge anyone with information or dashcam footage to get in touch.

“We would also be keen to speak to two unidentified people who stopped to give assistance at the scene but left prior to police arriving.

“Anyone with information can call 101, quoting reference 2271 of 30 June.”
