A woman was injured when her car came off a slush-covered road today and hit a tree.

The woman suffered leg injuries when her grey Hyundai Getz left the A93, five miles east of Braemar, at around 12.50pm.

A police spokeswoman said: “A woman driver was found conscious and breathing with a sore leg.

“The vehicle came off the road five miles east of Braemar after stopping against a tree.

“Roads are skittery so motorists should take care.

“There’s a fair amount of standing water on surfaces around Inverurie and Westhill areas.

“All roads are passable but be careful.”
