A woman is being airlifted to hospital after being hurt on an island in the River Dee.
Two ambulances, the coastguard and an air ambulance are in attendance.
The helicopter was called in after attempts to rescue by boat were thwarted by shallow waters.
The incident was reported at around 6am this morning and caused severe tailbacks on the A90 to Stonehaven and slow traffic in both directions between the B9077 Leggart Terrace junction and the A945 Riverside Drive junction.
