Traffic on the A82 was brought to a standstill today following a two-vehicle crash north of Spean Bridge.

The incident happened near the Commando Memorial on the Inverness to Fort William road, shortly after 3.30pm this afternoon.

Emergency crews were called to the scene, less than two miles north of Spean Bridge.

The severity of any injuries is unknown at this time.

Firefighters called to A82 crash

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service was first made aware of the crash at 3.42pm today.

Three appliances from Spean Bridge and Fort William were tasked to the scene.

Firefighters made sure the vehicles were safe before leaving the area shortly after 4pm.

Motorists travelling along the busy trunk road reported lengthy tailbacks as a result of the crash.

Drivers say traffic was brought to a “standstill” due to a full road closure being imposed.

The A82 has since reopened in both directions.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 3.40pm on Wednesday, September 18, officers received a report of a two-vehicle crash on the A82 near Spean Bridge.

“The road was closed and has reopened. The vehicles have been recovered.”

Second crash on A82 within hours

The incident is the second of its kind along this stretch of road within hours.

Crews were called to an earlier crash on the A82 at Invergloy, just four miles north of the memorial.

The road has since been reopened.
