A caravan careered off the A87 and crashed into a fence due to ‘high winds’ this afternoon.
The road near Sconser, Skye, was closed to traffic following the incident at around 2pm on Thursday.
Images posted on social media show the caravan lying at an angle.
Police were called to the scene at around 2.20pm and confirmed there were no injuries.
A police spokesperson said: “Around 2.20pm on Thursday, 27 June, 2024 we were called to reports of a vehicle towing a caravan having toppled due to high winds on the A87 near Sconser.
“Emergency services attended. There were no reports of injuries.”
The A87 has now reopened to traffic following vehicle recovery.
An eyewitness told The Press and Journal it appeared as though the driver of the car towing the caravan lost control.
They said: “Looks like the car went sideways or possibly jack-knifed the caravan pushing the front of the car into the granite cliffs.
“In the process the caravan detached and rolled over off the road into a crofters fence.”
