An overturned road gritter led to traffic being restricted on the A9 this afternoon.
Cops were alerted to the incident at Inveralmond Roundabout in Perth at around 12:40pm and found the gritter lying on its side upon arrival. The driver was rushed to hospital but his condition remains unknown.
Pictures from the scene show the vehicle on its side with the contents of its load covering the ground next to it.
