A82 south of Fort William reopens following three-vehicle collision

The A82 Ballachulish to Fort William road has reopened following a three-vehicle crash.

Police and paramedics were called to the scene, between Fort William and Corrychurrachan, at about 1pm.

The incident happened around two miles north of the Corran Ferry terminal.

It is understood nobody was seriously injured.

Officers closed the route to traffic in both directions as arrangements were made for the recovery of the vehicles.

Due to a lack of diversion routes available, motorists were facing a 200-mile detour to avoid the congestion.

The road has now reopened.
