A serious incident occured around 4pm when a rally car came off the road near Kelso and collided with spectators.

The Jim Clark Rally was stopped at that time.

five people. Four people were treated at the scene and one person was

P.S. And this is from me. Apparently my Twitter account has been
hacked, most of you know me and will recognise this. As I said the
Police have asked that no third party comment be made until they have
concluded their initial investigations.
