A96 closed due to lorry stranded in snow

A stretch of the A96 has been closed this evening following heavy snowfall.

It is believed a lorry has crashed in the snow at Glens of Foundland near Huntly and the road is now closed northbound.

Police are on their way to the scene.

The A96 is also closed between Inverurie and Huntly due to flooding at the Inveramsay Bridge.

The A96 is just one of a number of roads to have been hit today, with heavy rainfall sweeping across the north-east.
