Winter roads endure in Angus
It is not known if winter weather conditions were a factor in the crash.
The incident comes after Angus was hit by further heavy snow, causing widespread problems on the region’s roads.
Tayside was hit by up to 12in of snow after freezing air swept into the region at the start of the week.
A low of -18.2C was recorded in Perthshire on what was officially the UK’s coldest night since 1995.
The blizzards brought the local area to a standstill with avalanches reported on local hills, and schools and Covid-19 vaccination centres forced to close their doors.
