A major stretch of the A90 has been partially blocked this morning due to a van fire.

The incident involved a Citroen van, which is now being recovered.
A police spokesman confirmed that traffic is now being diverted onto the A952 route through Mintlaw.
She added: “The incident was caused by an electrical fire. The vehicle is being moved now.”
