A driver had to be cut out of their vehicle by the fire service after an accident on a north-east road.

Four fire engines were called to the crash involving a lorry and a van on the A90 southbound at Fordoun at around 9.30am following the incident.

Police and the ambulance service were also in attendance and the road remains closed in both directions, with diversions in place.
