A person has been taken to hospital after a crash on the A86 near Newtonmore this afternoon.

The Scottish Ambulance Service rushed to the scene around 1pm after a one-car collision on Newtonmore Main Street.

Ambulances then transported the person to Raigmore Hospital in Inverness.

The crash left motorists unable to pass between the town and Laggan until it was re-opened around 2.50pm.

But police have now re-opened the road in both directions and all lanes are available to use.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 12.25pm on Thursday, April 25, 2024, police were called to the A86 near Newtonmore, following a report of a one-vehicle crash.

“Recovery for the vehicle has been arranged.”

The SAS dispatched a unit quickly after getting a report of the incident shortly after 1pm.

A Scottish Ambulance Service spokesperson said: “We received a call at 12.29pm to attend a road traffic collision on A86 near Newtonmore.

“An ambulance was dispatched to the scene and one patient was transported to Raigmore Hospital.”
