Rain-battered M90 leads to second crash on road in space of two hours

The Friarton Bridge
The Friarton Bridge

Wet surfaces caused a second crash on the main road between Perth and Edinburgh on Thursday.

The accident took place on the northbound M90 at Craigend to Bridge of Earn interchange, just south of the Friarton Bridge, at about 4pm.

A car, said to be a Honda, went into the central barrier of the road after skidding on the road’s wet surface.

Nobody was injured.

Traffic tailed back for half an hour heading north.

A police spokesman said: “It came in at about 4pm, it was on the M90 northbound on the Bridge of Earn to Craigend interchange.

“A vehicle aquaplaned into the central reservation. It was a non-injury from what I can see. Bear Scotland was advised.”

Police helped manage traffic at the scene.

It comes after a vehicle collided with the central reservation of a barrier on the M90 at 2.50pm on Thursday, also near Bridge of Earn.

No one was injured in the collision but the road was littered with debris.

A spokesman for Police Scotland said there was also diesel on the road, but it was unclear is this was the cause of the accident or because of the accident.

Traffic Scotland has also warned that “all routes” across Dundee, Perth and Kinross and parts of Angus are being affected by surface water.

It comes following a huge downpour of rain across the region this morning and into the afternoon.

Traffic Scotland said: “Drivers are advised to exercise caution due to surface water causing difficult driving conditions.”
