The Tay Road Bridge has reopened after a crash involving a tractor and its overturned trailer.

The incident on the northbound carriageway happened in high winds conditions at about 17:55 and led to the bridge being closed for more than four hours.

Drivers were diverted more than 50 miles (80km) via Perth while repairs and safety inspections took place.

The bridge reopened at about 22:20 for cars and single-decker buses.

A 30mph speed restriction was put in place because of the weather conditions.

The vehicle involved in the crash was recovered from the 1.4 mile (2.2km) bridge, which spans the River Tay estuary between Dundee and Newport-on-Tay.

The bridge walkway, which was damaged in the crash, was expected to be closed until Thursday.
