A BUS toppled onto its side with a passenger inside amid icy conditions in Aberdeenshire.
A spokesperson for Stagecoach confirmed there was no injuries as a result of the incident in the New Leeds area.
The Met Office, which has described conditions as the “first taste of winter,” has issued a yellow warning for snow and ice along the east coast of Scotland from 6pm on Tuesday until midday on Wednesday.
A spokesperson for Stagecoach said: “We can confirm that one of our vehicles operating on service X67 has been involved in an incident at New Leeds this morning due to ice on the road.
“One passenger was on board, and there were no injuries.”
Another yellow warning for snow and ice is also in place for most of the north of Scotland until 10am on Wednesday morning.
Met Office chief meteorologist Neil Armstrong said: “With cold Arctic air firmly in place over the UK, continued winter hazards are likely through much of this week, with further updates to warnings likely in the coming days.
“The current focus for upcoming snow and ice risk is from late on Tuesday and overnight into Wednesday, with snow showers likely moving in off windward coasts in the north and east, as well as drifting into parts of Northern Ireland and Wales.
“In excess of 10cm of snow is possible over higher ground within the warning areas, with 1-2cm possibly settling at lower levels, which has the potential to lead to some travel disruption.
“Ice is an additional hazard and is likely to form quickly on untreated surfaces.”
Monday night saw sub-zero temperatures for much of the UK, reaching as low as -11.2C at Braemar in Aberdeenshire.
