TRAFFIC Scotland has said the A9 is closed in both directions following a four-vehicle collision.
In a post on social media at 12.20, Traffic Scotland said there were reports of a collision just north of Kingussie.
It then posted an update at 12.50 and said: “A9 now CLOSED in both directions just north of Kingussie following a four-vehicle collision.
“Traffic is very slow so please take care on approach.”
A separate post then added how details of diversions for vehicles heading both north and south.
It said: "Diversion - northbound. Take the offslip onto the A86. Turn right onto A86 and continue onto the B9152 at the A86/B9152 junction and follow the road until the A95 junction - turn left onto the A95 and follow the road until the A9 junction at Granish."
The southbound update said: "Turn left onto the A95 and follow the road until the B9152 junction - turn right onto the B9152 and follow the road until the A9 junction."
It is unclear if anybody has been injured in the incident.
The National has approached Police Scotland for comment.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
