Road shut and 70-mile diversion after crash on A9

The A9 south of Inverness has been closed following a crash involving a car and a lorry.

Emergency services were called to the collision near Dalmagarry, between Moy and Tomatin, at about 06:05.

Seventy mile-long diversions have been put in place for north and southbound traffic.

Police Scotland said: "The public are advised to avoid the area and use alternative routes."

Roads maintenance company Amey NE Trunk Roads has warned motorists the diversions had resulted in the A96 being busier than normal.
