A woman has been taken to hospital by helicopter following a two-car crash on a road in Moray.
Police, ambulance, and fire crews attended earlier this afternoon on the A941 Elgin-Dufftown road, near Rothes.
The road was initially closed a mile south of Rothes, but reopened around 3pm.
It is understood that one car went down an embankment and landed on its roof. Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance said they had transported one woman from the scene to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary.
