A man has been seriously injured after a crash between a car and a horse-drawn carriage carrying a wedding party. It happened near to the entrance to Mabie House Hotel in Dumfries and Galloway at about 14:10 on Saturday.
The 45-year-old man, the driver of the carriage, suffered serious injuries and was taken to hospital. Three other people were also taken to hospital. A vet attended the scene and treated the horses for minor injuries. A spokeswoman for the hotel said the wedding was slightly postponed but was due to go ahead.
A road closure was in place while police investigations were carried out, with local diversions. Police appealed for anyone who saw either of the vehicles travelling between Dumfries and the Mabie Forest turn off prior to the crash.
