Emergency services closed the A82 at Bridge of Oich

A person has been airlifted to hospital after a crash in the Highlands. Emergency services closed the A82 at Bridge of Oich after the collision at around 2.30pm on Sunday.

Police Scotland said one person was taken to hospital in Inverness for treatment. The A82, which links Glasgow to Inverness via the west coast, is one of Scotland’s most dangerous roads due to the number of crashes.

A diversion was put in place along the A87 from Invergarry to Invermoriston. Road users were advised to avoid the area.

It comes after an 85-year-old woman died in hospital after being hit by a van in Stranraer. The incident happened around 10.20am on Saturday, January 3, on Sheuchan Street near the junction with Park Lane.

The crash involved a female pedestrian and a white Vauxhall Vivaro van. Emergency services attended and the pedestrian, an 85-year-old woman, was taken to hospital where she later died. No one else was injured.
