The overturned car - a red Nissan Micra - was being driven by a woman who is believed to have escaped without serious injuries.

Earlier reports that the car had collided with a motorcycle are understood to have been unfounded.

Officers spent a number of hours recovering the vehicle and clearing fuel from the road before reopening the carriageway shortly after 5pm.
