A road near a Stirling school was closed for several hours after a pedestrian was hit by a vehicle.
Police and paramedics – including an air ambulance – were called to Airthrey Road near Wallace High School at around 10am on Thursday.
The school has confirmed the crash did not involve a pupil but the helicopter used the grounds to land.
The road was closed while an investigation was carried out but has since reopened.
The nature of any injuries has not been confirmed.
One person who lives nearby told The Courier: “It must be serious.
“I heard the school was locked down. I hope the person hit is OK.”
A passer-by said: “The road is closed from the Wallace High School roundabout to the one in the centre of Causewayhead.
“There’s a white car behind the tape just after the traffic lights on Airthrey Road.
“There are many police vehicles and officers on scene.”
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “The A9, Airthrey Road, in Stirling has reopened following the earlier crash involving a pedestrian and a vehicle.
“Thanks to everyone for their patience while inquiries were carried out.”
The force, along with the Scottish Ambulance Service, has been contacted for more information.
