A log lorry has shed its load in a three-vehicle collision on the A816 in Argyll, closing the road in both directions.

The crash happened on the route between Oban and Lochgilphead near Kilmartin at around 8.10am on Tuesday.

The HGV was involved in a crash with two cars, which resulted in it shedding its load across the carriageway.

A Police Scotland spokesman said: "At around 8.10am, police and emergency services responded to reports of a three vehicle road traffic collision on the A816 involving a lorry carrying wood and two other cars.

"The lorry shed its load on to the carriageway while no one was seriously injured."

Police said the road is expected to be closed for some time as they clear up the debris from the smash.

One of the drivers involved was taken to Argyll and Bute Hospital in Lochgilphead for minor injuries. His condition is described as stable.

The lorry driver was also taken to the hospital as a precaution, while the third motorist was uninjured.

Argyll and Bute Council said its staff are at the scene to help in advising motorists, while diversions are put in place.
