A three vehicle crash involving a car, van and crane closed the A9 in Easter Ross this afternoon.
The collision happened at around 3.18pm at Achnagarron, between Alness and Invergordon.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said it had sent two appliances to the scene, one from Invergordon and another from Dingwall.
