THE A970 at Wadbister has re-opened following a three vehicle road traffic collision on Friday afternoon.

Emergency services were called to the crash near the Wadbister junction  shortly before half past four.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 4.25pm on Friday, 10 May, we were called to a three vehicle road crash near the Wadbister junction.
