Two men have been killed in a head-on crash after a vehicle drove the wrong way on the motorway, police have said.
A grey Ford Kuga was seen driving northbound on the southbound carriageway on the M90 near junction seven at around 10.30pm on Friday, Police Scotland said.
Shortly later, the car crashed into a white Vauxhall Corsa, which was travelling in a southbound direction.
The male driver of the Kuga, 44, and the driver of the Corsa, who was a 20-year-old man, suffered fatal injuries and were pronounced dead at the scene.
The force has informed both of their families.
The M90 was shut for around 16 hours between junctions six and nine, so emergency services could carry out investigations. The road has since reopened.
The northbound carriageway was also closed for a short time overnight.
