A man has been flown to hospital after a tractor crashed down a hill at a farm near Fyvie.
Police, fire and the Scottish Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA) were called to the south of the village, just off the A947 Aberdeen to Banff road at the Peth of Minnonie bends at about 11.40am.
The tractor had left the road and rolled down an embankment.
Two fire appliances and a heavy rescue unit attended the crash, and used cutting gear to free the man.
No details of his injuries are available, however, he was flown to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary for treatment.
A SCAA spokeswoman said: “Helimed-79 was called after a tractor tumbled down the hill.
“It had left the road and rolled down a bank.
“SCAA flew EMRS doctors to the scene, landing at the bottom of the slope which had been difficult to access.
“The casualty was airlifted to ARI in 15 minutes.”
A fire spokeswoman said: “We were called out at about 11.44am and helped to stabilise a vehicle and used cutting equipment to cut a casualty out of their vehicle.
“We left the scene at 2.24pm.”
A police spokeswoman added: “Officers attended a farm in Turriff at 11.40am following a crash involving a tractor.
“A man was flown to hospital for treatment.
“Inquiries are ongoing.”
