A section of the A9 in the Highlands has been closed after a crane crashed onto the railway line.
Northern Constabulary said the crane fell on to the tracks in village of Portgower in Sutherland.
The A9 between Helmsdale and Brora was closed in both directions at about 15:20 on Sunday to allow recovery work to take place. There is no alternative route or diversion.
Trains services between Inverness and Wick also faced disruptions. [From John Gray]
