Police have closed an Aberdeenshire road following an earlier accident which left a woman hospitalised.
Emergency services were called out to the A920 Colpy to Oldmeldrum road, at Mounie Lodge just after 10pm, after a car plunged into a water-filled ditch.
Icy conditions caused the car to veer into a ditch and overturn on its side which left the car submerged in water.
Fire crews from Oldmeldrum, Inverurie and Ellon were all called to the scene, and had to cut the woman from the vehicle.
The woman has now been taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary but it is unknown how serious her condition is.
Police have now closed the road between Meikle Wartle and Oldmeldrum due to the dangerous surface. Diversions are in place.
