Police in Tayside are appealing for information following a serious road crash in Perth.

Around 2.30pm on Saturday, 9 April, 2022, a 50-year-old male pedestrian was struck by a silver Renault Megane car in Crieff Road, Perth.

Emergency services attended and the man was taken to Ninewells Hospital in Dundee for treatment of serious injuries.
