Lorry driver sought for ‘road rage’ attack

-

Police are appealing for informatio­n after a woman was assaulted in an incident of road rage on the A9.

The attack took place at 12.30pm on Tuesday, near Perth, after the driver of a black Kia Sportage pulled into a layby due to a problem with her vehicle.

A red lorry which had been forced to slow down while driving behind her also pulled into the layby, with the driver getting out and approachin­g her vehicle.

The lorry driver then hurled abuse at the woman before physically assaulting her, leaving her shaken but uninjured.

Police Scotland are now appealing for any informatio­n which may help them find the driver.

He is described as being a white male, in his mid-50s with red hair and a freckled complexion, wearing a black polo shirt and black combat trousers.

Officers are especially keen for anyone with dashcam footage to come forward.
