The A96 Aberdeen to Elgin has reopened after a single-car crash led to its closure yesterday evening.
Emergency services were called just before 8pm due to a vehicle having left the road near Pitcaple, between the Whiteford turn off and the Chapel of Garioch turn off.
Two fire appliances were dispatched to the scene and police were also at the scene.
Due to the incident, the A96 was closed in both directions leading to queues of traffic.
