Traffic disruption after cyclist collision

A cyclist has been knocked from their bike on a busy Aberdeen road, causing lengthy tailbacks.

Police and ambulance crews were called to incident close to the Five Mile Garage on the A944.

A police spokeswoman said they received the call at 6.15pm and were heading to the scene.

The cyclist collided with a car, police said.

“The road is still closed in the meantime but we are hoping it should be open relatively soon, at least in part.”
