A cyclist is still in hospital after being seriously injured at a remote location in Lochaber at the weekend.
The unnamed rider had collided with a sheep on a road on the Ardnamurchan peninsula.
The accident happened on Saturday near Kilchoan.
The emergency services were alerted shortly before midday.
Police and a road ambulance team were joined by an air ambulance crew at the scene, where traffic had steadily built up in all directions on the narrow road.
The injured man, who is believed to be in his 30s, was airlifted to Raigmore Hospital in Inverness.
A spokesman for the police described his injuries as “serious,” adding that he was later transferred to a hospital in Glasgow for specialist treatment.
A spokesman for the Scottish Ambulance Service said: “We received a call at 11.49am on Saturday to attend a road traffic collision near Kilchoan.
“We dispatched one ambulance and our helicopter air ambulance to the scene.
“One male patient in his 30s was taken to Raigmore Hospital by air.”
Retired Motherwell firefighter John Dyer, 61, who was on holiday in the area with his wife, an ex nurse, had been spending a couple of days in the area in a campervan and witnessed an impressive response from the air ambulance crew.
He said: “We were caught in traffic for a while. It wasn’t obvious what had happened but the helicopter crew did well in tricky circumstances.
“Our immediate thought was to go and see what’s happening to see if there was anything we could do, but there were plenty of police and ambulance people about so we calmed our urge.
“It was a single track road and it was right in the middle of a hill. There was traffic backed up going down the hill, as we were, and traffic backed up in the other direction.
“It was absolutely awesome. They were just so professional and made it look as easy as driving a car. I just thought it was perfect.”
