Emergency services attended and road users were asked to avoid the area. This sudden road closure had a knock-on effect to surrounding areas, particularly with the road so close to the Sheriffhall Roundabout.

The road was re-opened shortly after 7pm on Tuesday, with police thanking the public for their patience.
