Three people have been rushed to hospital following a crash involving a car and a timber lorry on the A96 Elgin to Aberdeen road near Huntly.
The incident happened after 4pm on Monday afternoon and involved one car and a heavy good vehicle carrying timber logs.
Emergency services were deployed to the scene including police, fire and ambulance.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service sent two appliances plus a heavy rescue vehicle to the scene on the A96 near its junction with the A97 towards Banff.
Crews eventually left the scene at around 6pm.
Three people taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary
Police confirmed three people have been taken to hospital after timber logs broke loose from the lorry.
The road reopened to traffic shortly after 9.30pm.
In an earlier statement, a police spokesman said: “We are in attendance on the A96 at the junction with the A97, Huntly, following a crash involving a lorry and a car that happened around 4.30pm on Monday, January 22.
“Three people from the car have been taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary.
“The lorry has shed its load of logs and recovery is underway.”
It comes after travel disruption for many across the north and north-east following ferocious winds during Storm Isha last night which left debris including fallen trees on roads.
