A man is being treated in hospital after he was hit by a lorry on the A90 at Marykirk.

The road between Aberdeen and Dundee remains closed southbound between Marykirk to North Water Bridge following the incident, which happened at around 5am this morning.

The 45-year-old man was taken to Ninewells Hospital in Dundee where he is being treated for “serious injuries”.

A 32-mile diversion is in place for drivers, who are being asked to avoid the area.

Eyewitness saw nine police cars at A90 incident

Officers are now carrying out inquiries to establish the full circumstances.

They are particularly keen to hear from any motorists who may have seen the man walking southwards by the southbound carriageway shortly before the crash occurred.

Sergeant Sarah Ritchie said: “We would like to thank those witnesses who have spoken with officers already and continue to appeal for anyone else who saw the crash, or may have seen the pedestrian, to please come forward.

“Any motorists with dashcam footage from that section of the A90 prior to 5am are also urged to contact us.”

Anyone with information should call police on 101, quoting incident 0409 of 13 June, 2024.
