Five people were taken to hospital following a crash involving a van and two cars yesterday.
Emergency services were called to the A9 Inverness to Perth road near Ralia just before 1pm.
The fire service dispatched one appliance from Newtonmore which made the scene safe before leaving at around 1.30pm.
Police were also on scene, while the Scottish Ambulance Service (SAS) dispatched three ambulances to assist with transporting those with injuries to Raigmore Hospital.
An ambulance spokeswoman said: “We received a call at 12.51pm on July 27 to attend a three-vehicle road traffic collision on A9.
“Three ambulances were dispatched to the scene and five patients were transported to Raigmore Hospital.”
The road was closed in both directions for several hours leading to queues of traffic on both sides of the A9 with police urging motorists to use the diversion through Newtonmore.
It was partially reopened in both directions by 7pm, with restrictions in place to allow for vehicle recovery, and was fully reopen by 8pm.
