A 14-YEAR-OLD boy has suffered “serious injuries” in a crash on a major Borders road, according to police.

The teenager was taken to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh for treatment following the incident on the A68 on Sunday (June 30).

An 11-year-old boy and 10-year-old girl in the same car went to Borders General Hospital (BGH), as did the 47-year-old driver.

The crash happened near Camptown, south of Jedburgh, at around 4.20pm, say police. 

It reportedly involved a red Ford Transit van and a black Volkswagen Sharan car.

The driver of the van, a 47-year-old man, was also taken to the BGH.

He has been arrested in connection with a road traffic offence and a report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal, according to police..

Sergeant Lee Walkingshaw said: “Our enquiries into this incident are ongoing and we urge anyone with information or dashcam footage to get in touch.

“We would also be keen to speak to two unidentified people who stopped to give assistance at the scene but left prior to police arriving.

“Anyone with information can call 101, quoting reference 2271 of June 30.”

The road was closed to allow for an investigation and reopened at around 8.30pm.
