It's already busy enough on the A82 today. Fort William will be stupidly busy tomorrow.

A9 now shut after another serious accident at Ralia. This was at 4pm. Police say long delays to
be expected.
All we need is the A96 to be shut and we are cut off.

ETA, just been on the news it was a tourist coach and a van, with persons trapped. The coach is
on its wheels so it looks like the van driver trapped.

Looks like more excuses for the Highland Scamerati to get out and stop overtaking on long safe straights :
Like the one after Bridge of Orchy, heading north.
Or the one near the Ski Lift in Glencoe.
Or on the one good straight between Fort William and Invergarry, on the shores of Loch Linne-
Haven't they learned ,that FRUSTRATION causes accidents. Perhaps if there were more traffic cars enforcing the "please pull over to let faster traffic pass " dialogue that's on the signs, then accidents from head ons might decrease .But NO- it's speed that causes accidents. But perhaps it is- it's the plonkers that can't drive,and insist on a speed not consistent with the conditions that cause the problems. Any one considered this ??? Pitsmans boots - ,no he'll submerge on being asked a question that means he'll have to admit defeat.
