UPDATE: A90 re-opens after tanker crash on Forfar bypass

The Dundee to Aberdeen dual carriageway has re-opened following a lorry crash on the Forfar bypass.

The road was shut southbound around 11.30 on Friday morning after the tanker veered off the carriageway and toppled on its side.

The driver of the truck escaped injury but the accident led to lengthy delays for southbound motorists.

A90 RE-OPENED AT FORFAR

The southbound A90 has now been reopened at Forfar following the earlier RTC. It may need to be closed again temporarily at a later point to allow for recovery of the crashed HGV, but we have no info as to when that may be. Thanks for your patience. pic.twitter.com/kfaBCkU11M
