An investigation was launched following a road accident on the A96 Great Northern Road in Aberdeen.
Officers received reports of an accident involving a motorbike and a car, near the Esso garage, at around 7pm on Thursday evening.
The road was closed between the Haudagain and St Machar roundabouts for some time as emergency crews attended.
A 35-year-old motorcyclist was taken to hospital by ambulance. The extent of his injuries is unknown.
The road reopened shortly after 3am.
Road collision investigators arrived at the scene last night to piece together the events leading up to the crash.
A police spokeswoman said: “Around 7pm on Thursday September 26, police received a report of a road crash involving a car and motorbike on the A96 Great Northern Road in Aberdeen.
“Emergency services attended and a 35-year-old man was taken by ambulance to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary for treatment.
“The road was closed while a collision investigation was carried out and re-opened around 3.10am on Friday, 30 September.”
All traffic was diverted along Clifton Road as teams remained in attendance.
Stagecoach bus services were also being hampered by the closure of Great Northern Road last night.
