A teenager has appeared in court accused of causing serious injury to two schoolgirls in a horror smash on the A90 near Perth.
Robert Mill is alleged to have deliberately rammed a police car, before overturning while attempting to undertake a second police vehicle.
Two 14-year-old girls were seriously hurt in the smash on February 20 2021.
Mill, 18, is accused of causing their injuries by dangerous driving.
He denies all charges and will stand trial early next year.
Accused of failing to stop for police
Mill, who was 16 at the time of the alleged offence, is accused of driving a 20-year-old Vauxhall Corsa dangerously along multiple streets in and around Perth.
It is alleged he negotiated a mini-roundabout on Tay Street the wrong way and drove along opposing carriageways on Marshall Place and Edinburgh Road, overtaking lines of stationary traffic waiting at traffic lights.
Prosecutors claim he entered the A912 Main Street at Bridge of Earn in the wrong lane, causing the driver of a Renault Kangoo to take evasive action to avoid a collision.
Mill is further accused of driving at excessive speed for the road conditions.
It is alleged that on the A90, near the junction with St Madoes, he deliberately collided with a police car, attempted to undertake another preceding police car before driving onto the roadside verge and overturning.
Mill, of Poplar Grey Court, Dundee, is also accused of failing to stop for Police Constable Scott Power.
Prosecutors claim he was driving with no insurance and when he was not old enough to hold a driving licence.
Mill is also facing allegations he drove a Skoda Fabia along his home street in Dundee on March 9, 2021 without insurance or a licence.
The teenager tendered a plea of not guilty to all charges during a brief hearing before Sheriff William Wood on Thursday.
A trial was set for January 30, with a pre-trial hearing in October.
