Police Watchdog Referral After M90 Wrong-Way Crash That Killed Two

The referral signals independent scrutiny of a police encounter with the wrong-way driver before the crash.

Overview

  • Police Scotland has referred the case to the Police Investigation and Review Commissioner after Friday night’s fatal collision near Kinross.
  • Investigators say a grey Ford Kuga, driven by a 44-year-old man, travelled north on the southbound side near junction 7 and hit a white Vauxhall Corsa driven by a 20-year-old man.
  • A marked patrol reported the Kuga going the wrong way near junction 6, activated blue lights, and then came upon the crash scene.
  • The M90 closed between junctions 6 and 9 for about 16 hours to preserve evidence, and fire crews cleared the scene by 2:36am after a 10:40pm call.
  • Officers are appealing for witnesses and dashcam video via 101, quoting reference 3758 of 17 April 2026.
