Drivers were diverted from South Deeside Road this morning at a well-known location, which has seen two crashes in the past two months.

A blue BMW and a grey Toyota 4×4 collided near the Maryculter House Hotel, with the accident occurring around 8am on the B9077.

Police responded to the scene, where the front of the BMW sustained significant damage.

It also left drivers with lengthy delays from Crathes into Aberdeen as police urged motorists to avoid the scene.

It is still unknown whether anyone was injured.

The crash came after another collision that occurred in a similar spot last month.

It was only three weeks ago that black ice caused a red MG car slid into the traffic signage outside the Aberdeen hotel which caused it to bend out of shape.

Police Scotland has been contacted for further information.
