A car has collided with an electricity pole on an Aberdeenshire road.
The incident took place on the A944 at Loch of Skene at about 7.30pm on Thursday.
Police confirmed the road was closed for about five hours following the one-vehicle crash.
Traffic was unable to travel between the B977 at Dunecht and the B9126 at Lyne of Skene.
It reopened just after 12.30am.
There are currently no reports of any injuries.
It is understood the collision caused damage to the electricity network.
A SSEN spokesman said: “Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks’ (SSEN) engineers attended the scene of a road traffic accident along with the emergency services in the Loch Skene area on Thursday evening.
“We safely and quickly replaced a pole that had been damaged, and reinstated downed wires. The final customer off supply was reconnected at just after 11.15pm.”
Last night, a Police Scotland post stated: “The road will remain closed until safe to reopen.
“An update will be provided at that time.
