A male motorcyclist has been taken to hospital after coming off his bike on the A82.
The 70-year-old rider was travelling on the Inverness to Fort William road near the Nevis Range Mountain resort when he suffered a crash.
Police and paramedics were called to the scene shortly after midday.
The man was assessed by paramedics before being taken to hospital to be checked over.
In a statement, a Police Scotland spokesperson said: “We were called around 12.15pm on Tuesday, October 1, to a report of a crash on the A82 near Spean Bridge involving a motorcycle.
“Emergency services attended and the rider, a 70-year-old man, was taken to hospital to be checked over.
“The road was closed for a short time for recovery of the vehicle.”
Officers closed the route to traffic for a short time this afternoon to allow recovery of the vehicle.
Motorists experienced tailbacks, with Traffic Scotland warning of potential delays.
The A82 has since reopened in both directions.
