Does anyone know what happened? I was queuing up towards Marshall Trailers at 5.30 but we all turned around and headed back to Dyce; 15 minutes later about a dozen emergency vehicles went speeding past in the opposite direction when I was on Auchmill Road; I'm guessing car accident? Must have been a bad one if all four lanes were closed.
I've just been out that way as didnt know there had been an accident and all 4 lanes still closed at Marshal Trailers. Looked like vehicle had come out of junction and been hit/caused accident.
There is just police there now directing traffic, the smashed vehicles are still there but no recovery trucks or such/
Thats what it looked like but I didn't hang about to see more

That's the only stretch of road I can think of where I would advocate a lower speed limit. 70mph is ridiculous for such a busy junction.
I used to work up there and would always find the gap I was trying to sqeeze into at the end of the day a little too close for comfort. Of course because the limit is 70, 99% of drivers feel such a speed is entirely appropriate when passing stationary cars sat in the centre of the road waiting to join the west-bound carriageway
Hope those involved are OK.

Completely agree. I always slow down to around 40mph and always have my left foot hovering over the brake. I make sure I never have to use that junction. It is dangerous, there's no two ways about.I used to work up there and would always find the gap I was trying to sqeeze into at the end of the day a little too close for comfort.
