The incident happened on the A966 Finstown to Evie road near Tingwall Jetty around 4pm on Sunday, 29 August and involved two cars, a red Honda Jazz and a brown Citroen Berlingo.

The 76-year-old female driver and a 80-year-old male passenger from the Honda were taken to the Balfour Hospital in Kirkwall for treatment to serious injuries.

The 65-year-old female driver of the Citroen was taken to hospital to be checked for minor injuries and has since been released.

“I would urge anyone who may have witnessed the crash or seen either vehicle beforehand to get in touch if you have not already spoken to a police officer.

“We would also be keen to speak to anyone who may have dashcam footage.

“Anyone with information can call 101, quoting incident 2671 of 29 August.”
