A jack-knifed lorry has blocked a north-east road.
Police have closed the A90 Aberdeen to Ellon road between Kellie Pearl Way and the A952 Toll of Birness junction while they recover the vehicle.
A Police Scotland spokeswoman said the road was likely to re-open at around 1.30am.
She added: “It seems the lorry skidded on some black ice.”
No-one was hurt.
With temperatures as low as -15C expected in some parts of Scotland overnight, motorists are being advised to take care on the roads.
Bear Scotland has confirmed it will be double-treating all of its roads to combat the treacherous conditions.
