Two accidents within five minutes on A9 cause traffic problems

Two separate accidents on the A9 Perth to Inverness road have led to lengthy queues of traffic.

The first incident took place at 3.10pm on the southbound carriageway between Dunkeld and Ballinluig, and involved two cars and a motorbike.

A spokesperson for Police Scotland said a pillion passenger from the motorbike was treated by an ambulance crew at the scene.

She added that there was a three-mile queue of traffic as a result of the incident.

Then, five minutes later two vehicles collided northbound on the A9, north of the House of Bruar near Dalnamein. Again, this led to long queues of traffic.

The police spokesperson said no one was seriously injured in either incident.
