Motorcyclist taken to hospital after crash in Dundee

A motorcyclist has been taken by ambulance to Ninewells Hospital after a crash at a busy Dundee junction.

Eyewitnesses said the rider seemed to skid on the wet road surface. There was a question over whether this was caused by water or a prior diesel spill on the road.
