Motorists are currently unable to leave the Isle of Skye following an accident.
Traffic Scotland took to X to warn drivers that the A87 is currently closed at Sconser in both directions as a result of a collision.
Police are in attendance at the scene to direct traffic.
Online reports indicate that a lorry has blown over due to high winds, with the road closure meaning that there is "no way off Skye at the moment".
