The four-year-old girl seriously injured in a road accident in Perthshire on Wednesday is said to be recovering well in hospital.
She was airlifted to Glasgow’s specialist Yorkhill Children’s Hospital after sustaining a “serious” head injury after her family’s vehicle crashed shortly after 4pm.
In an update today. Police Scotland said her condition is now described as “serious but stable” and it is thought she could be released from hospital later this week.
The family understood to be holidaymakers from Inverness-shire were towing a caravan when their green Mitsubishi 4×4 pickup overturned near Killiekrankie.
It sparked a huge emergency response, with significant concern for the youngster’s health and an air ambulance was called for.
The entire road was closed for a short time to enable the helimed to land on the A9 and then fly for Glasgow.
A 13-year-old boy and 27-year-old female were taken by road ambulance to Ninewells Hospital in Dundee, though their injuries were not as serious.
Though the northbound carriageway was reopened relatively swiftly thereafter, the southbound carriageway remained closed for more than six hours as police carried out a detailed investigation.
Significant queues built up in the aftermath of the accident, though the location meant that a diversionary route through Blair Atholl and Pitlochry was available to motorists.
