Drivers claim roads in Aberdeenshire and Aberdeen city centre are like ‘driving on a sheet of ice’ after a suspected fuel spill.
Teams at both councils are understood to be treating affected streets after being notified of slippy conditions just after 7am this morning.
It’s believed the fuel spill is on the B999 from Whitecairns to Bridge of Don, along Ellon Road and King Street, down Virginia Street to Union Square.
Drivers have also been warned of a fuel spillage on the B977 towards Dyce.
The cause remains unknown.

“Really need to be aware when driving this route as I did it earlier this morning.”
Another posted: “I lost control of my car on Ellon Road, it felt like I was driving on a sheet of ice.”
An Aberdeen City Council spokeswoman said: “We are out dealing with the affected areas with gritters using sand.”
