The girl suffered head injuries and was airlifted to Yorkhill Children’s Hospital in Glasgow where her condition is described as serious.

A 13-year-old boy and 27-year-old woman who were also in the vehicle were taken by ambulance to Ninewells Hospital in Dundee.

Their condition is not thought to be serious. The three people are thought to be members of the same family.

The southbound carriageway was closed until 10.30pm to allow for crash investigations to be carried out and the vehicles to be recovered.
