Officers were sent to the scene shortly after 11am to reports of a collision between a silver/grey Citroen van and a black Renault Clio.

Part of the road was closed by police while recovery was arranged for the vehicles, a spokeswoman for the force said.

No-one was injured and the collision was 'damage only', she added.

Traffic was slow in the area while the incident was dealt with, but the road was re-opened at approximately 12.50pm.
