A third added: “My hubby turned onto a country road and after pushing a bunch of cars into a snowstorm, he is now in AWPR and hopefully will be home soon!! It was just terrible! And so many people got into it. traffic accident is normal.”

While a fourth chimed in: “Just got home to Kirri, it took 2 and a half hours around the coast. A riser heading north along the coast road.”

Someone else wrote: “Maybe try some B&Bs or hotels in Kirremuir and also just a few miles away if the roads aren’t closed?!”

A spokesman for the force told the Scottish Sun: “There is heavy snow on the road. There was an accident involving a bus and a truck, and the truck is still waiting to be restored.
