A90 closed, near Brechin.

I drove past this and saw it! I did wonder.

Coming back south, I was diverted around the site.

Looks like just a 4x2.

I wonder if it was just gritting rather than ploughing?

Very sad that someone trying to make roads safer for others should lose his life.

There is a plough fitted but, the a A90 was clear. So, at the time, I'd say he wasn't doing any ploughing. Whether he was gritting, or not, I've no idea.

I was discussing it, the next day, with a driver down from Keith. I won't repeat his speculations. Maybe, in the fullness of time, we may find out what happened.
