He was refused bail and was remanded in custody.

It comes after two cars and a Citylink coach were involved in the tragedy on the A90 at Drumlithie on Tuesday March 12.

Zaharina Hristova, 37, Silyan Stefanov, 42, and Dimitar Georgiev, 32, all from Bulgaria, were travelling in the same car, a red Renault Megane, when it was in a collision with the coach and a Ford B Max.

Multiple people had to be cut from vehicles in the accident between Stonehaven and Laurencekirk.
