Two women have been killed in a two-vehicle crash in the Borders. Two woman have died following a head-on road crash in the Borders.
The cars hit head-on about half a mile north of Stow on the A7 at 16:30 on Tuesday. A 67-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident on the A7, a mile north of Stow.
Fire, ambulance and police crew attended the incident and helped to free the occupants of both cars. She had been driving a Volkswagen Polo which overturned after being involved in a collision with an Audi A6 at 16:35 on Tuesday.
The female driver of one of the vehicles was pronounced dead at the scene. Police later confirmed that a second woman had also died in the accident. Police said a 95-year-old woman, who was one of two female passengers in the Audi, later died from her injuries at a hospital in Edinburgh.
They had earlier said that the three occupants of the other vehicle had been taken to hospital. The male driver and the other passenger were also taken to the Royal Infirmary in Edinburgh but they did not sustain life-threatening injures.
Polices closed the road for six hours following the crash and have appealed for information from witnesses.
Sgt Brian Smith said: "Tragically, this incident has resulted in the death of two women and we are now working to establish exactly what happened.
"I would ask that any motorists who were on the A7 near Stow yesterday and have information that can assist with our investigation contacts police immediately."
