THE A90 has been closed in both directions after a major crash saw fire, police, and air ambulance services scramble.
Traffic Scotland said that the trunk road had been closed just south of Laurencekirk “due to a collision” at around 10.20am on Wednesday morning.
Diversions were put in place both north- and south-bound and drivers were urged to avoid the area if possible.
Two people were rushed to hospital after the crash, one by air ambulance.
Images reported by the Daily Record showed fire engines, police bikes, and police cars on hand.
