Drivers in Aberdeenshire are being advised to avoid parts of the A90 and A92 following two separate crashes on Friday afternoon.

Emergency services were called to a crash on the A90 near Laurencekirk at around 3.55pm on Friday.

The northbound carriageway remains closed while officers deal with the incident.

A second crash was reported on the A92 at Maryculter at about 5pm.

The road has since reopened; however, traffic is experiencing delays due to diversions put in place as a result of the A90 closure.

It is unknown if anyone has been injured as a result of the crashes.

Drivers are being warned that conditions are more difficult than usual due to the weather, and are advised to take extra care when travelling in and around the affected areas.

It comes as Scotland is set to be hit with more heavy snow and icy conditions over the weekend after days of disruption across the country.
