Their injuries are being assessed.

The 18-year-old woman pushing the pram was taken to hospital for treatment and later discharged.

The road is currently closed to allow for an investigation at the scene.

Sergeant David Kerr, of Police Scotland's Road Policing Unit, said: "Our enquiries into this incident are ongoing and we would urge anyone who have witnessed it to come forward.

"We would also be keen to speak to anyone who may have dashcam footage from the area.

"Anyone who can help is asked to call 101, quoting reference 1870 of 13 October."
