OFF ROAD: A Renault Clio on its roof after a crash on the A96 near Kintore.

OUT OF CONTROL: A Ford Fiesta spun off the B9170 as black ice hit roads around the Aberdeen area.

COLLISION: Two cars crashed today near Portlethen.

BLACK ice caused several crashes on roads around Aberdeen.

And today emergency services were scrambled to another crash, which was not thought to be related to the ice, when a blue Renault and blue MG collided just south of Portlethen on the northbound A90 Aberdeen to Dundee road.

Four cars, including a silver Ford Fiesta, crashed off the B9170 Inverurie to Oldmeldrum road, near Barra Castle, although no one was injured.

And emergency crews rescued a woman trapped inside her blue Renault Clio after it landed on its roof on the A96 Inverurie to Kintore road.
