The incident was reported just before 8am and had been cleared just after 10am.

ScotRail posted on X: “Disruption caused by a road vehicle colliding with a bridge between Arbroath and Montrose has now ended.

“Services Aberdeen and Glasgow Queen Street/Edinburgh are no longer being affected.”

A Police Scotland Spokesperson said: “Around 7.10am on Tuesday, police received a report of a one-vehicle road crash on the A92 near Inverkeilor, Arbroath.

“There are no reports of any injuries.”

It comes after a separate incident on Monday night which closed the railway line between Dundee and Invergowrie.
