A driver has escaped without injury after a car dramatically landed on its roof after crashing on one of the north’s busiest roads.
Emergency services were called to the scene after the black Vauxhall Corsa rolled at around 1.10pm on Sunday on the A82 around three miles north of Drumnadrochit.
The driver escaped from the crashed car without injury but the incident caused long delays on the Inverness to Fort William road while emergency services cleared up the scene.
Firefighters from Inverness and Beauly as well as a specialist heavy rescue unit from the Highland capital were sent to the scene.
However, they were stood down soon afterwards after it became clear that nobody was in need of rescue.
The fire crews helped police clear the road of debris. Fuel also had to be mopped up.
The accident happened on a twisting section of the busy trunk road, with the car coming to rest close to a steep rock face above Loch Ness.
Two ambulances were also sent to the crash site but were also stood down soon afterwards.
The road remained closed for around 90 minutes, causing lengthy delays on the scenic route.
A police spokeswoman said: “There was nobody injured but the vehicle was in need of recovery.
“The road was fully reopened around 2.45pm.”
A fire service spokeswoman confirmed that their appliances had been sent to the scene.
She added: “We responded after reports of a car on its roof but the casualty was out of the vehicle on arrival and nobody was in need of rescue.
“Our crews assisted with making the scene safe before leaving.”
Elsewhere the B883 Portree to Braes road on Skye was blocked briefly after two vehicles collided.
The accident happened at around 3.20pm near the road’s sunction with A87 south of Portree.
Nobody was injured but the two cars had to be recovered from the single track road.
