A north-east road has been closed for a second time in a day to recover a lorry from a ditch.

The incident occurred early this morning on the B974 Cairn O Mount road near Cairn O Mount bridge.

Police confirmed the driver was not injured and said the road would be closed from 11.45am for three to four hours while the vehicle, pictured by the Cairn O Mount Facebook group, was recovered.

 

This morning the road was closed for the first time as motorists battled with wintry conditions.

Police said at 8am the B974 Cairn O Mount road was closed for traffic heading north from Fettercairn to Banchory due to ice but is open and passable with care for drivers heading south from Banchory to Fettercairn.

The road re-opened just after 9am.

Another lorry ended up in a ditch on the A947 between Turriff and Fyvie after breaking down and pulling in.

Drivers have been reporting icy conditions across the area including the A96 at Huntly.
