One man has died and seven others are in hospital following a fatal crash on the A90 near Tealing.

The 32-year-old died at the scene after a van collided with a bus around 8am.

It happened at the Petterden Junction heading northbound.

Inspector Greg Burns from Police Scotland’s Road Policing Unit said: “This was a serious collision and our thoughts at this time are with the friends and family of the man who has lost his life, along with all of those involved.

“Our inquiries into the cause of the crash are ongoing and I would ask anyone who saw what happened, and has not yet spoken to officers, to come forward.

"I would ask motorists using the A90 this morning and who may have been recording via dash-cam devices to check their systems and provide any relevant footage to us as soon as possible.”

The A90 northbound carriageway currently has one lane open and the A982 between Petterden and Glamis remains closed and is expected to be for some time.

A Scottish Ambulance Service spokesperson said: “We received a call at 0806 hours today to attend a road traffic collision on the A90 at Tealing.

“We dispatched seven ambulances, patient transport ambulance, paramedic response unit, our helimed air ambulance, the trauma teams and the specialist operations response team to the scene.

“We can confirm that we have taken a total of seven patients to Ninewells Hospital for further treatment.

“A number of patients were treated at the scene and travelled home with relatives or made their own way home.”
