A KEY road through Argyllshire has been closed in both directions after a water tanker hit into roadside flats in a loch-side village.
Police were called out to Chalmers Street, Ardrishaig, on Friday afternoon after reports of a tanker hitting into the building.
According to the police, there have been no reports of any injuries.
While the road is shut police are asking drivers to divert from the A83 via the canal, by using East Bank Road.
One person on the street told the Argyllshire Advertiser: “I was watching TV when I heard a loud rumble. I thought it must have been more than the wind, and when I went to my window, I just said ‘woah!’ – I saw the tanker had crashed into the flats next door.”
A spokesperson for Police Scotland told The National: “We received a report of a crash involving one vehicle on Chalmers Street, A83, Ardrishaig, around 1.50pm on Friday, 30 September, 2022.
“There are no reports of any injuries.
“Emergency services are currently in attendance and the A83 is closed in both directions.”
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!
