A main road is currently closed in Argyll causing an 84 mile diversion after a lorry crashed and overturned.
The accident happened at around 8.30am on the A85 Oban to Perth road between Connel and Taynuilt at Achnacloich.
The road is closed in both directions while the recovery is ongoing.
The back end of the lorry is blocking the road, while the cab has landed on the shore.
It is understood that fuel is leaking from the front of the lorry. Argyll and Bute Council’s environmental health team has arrived on scene and has put a boom into the water to stop any fuel leaking further into Loch Etive.
A lengthy diversion is currently in place until the road reopens. Traffic Scotland advises: “For traffic travelling from Tyndrum turn left onto the A819 and follow the road – turn right onto the A83 at the A83/A819 junction in Inveraray – turn Right onto the A816 at Lochgilphead and follow the road – Thereafter follow permanent signing.
