The accident happened as police warned motorists to drive with care on icy roads across the South West.
Up to five inches of snow blanketed many upland areas of Dumfries and Galloway but snowploughs and gritters managed to keep roads open.
A spokesman at Dumfries HQ said: "As a result of overnight snow fall and subsequent sub zero temperatures in Dumfries and Galloway, travel conditions on the regions road networks remain hazardous.
"We are requesting that drivers exercise extra caution when driving on the regions roads, slow down and allow extra time for their journey.
"We are urging everyone to drive safely and according to the inclement weather conditions."
