Accident on Craigellachie to Aberlour Road

Updates can be found at the Bottom of the article

Three vehicles were involved in the accident beginning at the turning onto the main road from Craigellachie.

The police, air ambulance and normal ambulances were called to the 3 car crash. Thankfully, airbags were deployed within the two cars that the fronts are severely damaged in. In the wake of the crash it is lucky that (the men directing traffic stated) that everyone was alright, though this does not exclude the possibility of someone being hurt.

Traffic was backed up from Craigellachie all the way into Aberlour, and was on the verge of 2 miles an hour at a few brief intervals of movement.

This picture was taken outside of Aberlour, just after the small road that many locals use to by-pass Craigellachie.

This is the picture of the third car which sustained damage to the front right of the car.

~~More information will be posted once it is available.~~

Congestion in the road has eased considerably and the traffic has began to flow considerably more than earlier.

We hope that everyone drives safely and have a good evening.

The food banks were introduced to help solve this problem; but surely the Food Bank should be a short term fix, helping people temporarily until they are able to supp...

The Heli Appeal

The Cornwall Air Ambulance after thorough planning and preparation announced, on 24th April of this year, the New Heli Appeal. This appeals goal is to raise funds to bring the next generation of helicopters to Cornwall. The AW169; how is this an improvement? Well let's get started. It has a greater range; the fuel consumption is half what the current helicopter uses so that means more air time compared to refuelling, allowing the helicopter to reach patients take them to hospital and then be able to fly right back out again to the next emergency. The engines are more powerful, so it can carry more equipment; as it stands the two Air Ambulance Helicopters, one has the equipment for flying to the isles of Scilly the other does not. With the added space the equipment can be kept on the AW169 so that the crew, if they are needed on isles of Scilly, whether flying back from a hospital or from the base, they can go straight to the patient without having to transfer or use th...
