Road is still closed, came down this afternoon and it took me two hours longer than usual but that was with the crash north of Glenbar aswell.

We were heading to Glasgow on Thursday and thankfully, were a bit behind schedule. The police from Lochgilpheaad went flying past us at the Port Anne/Otter Ferry Road and by the time we reached Inveraray the road block was set up with the information that they were dealing with a major incident. It doesn't surprise me if the Crianlarich Road was closed later in the day. We were probably among some of the first cars sent on the diversion and it was quite unbelievable travelling in a huge line of traffic, all heading the same way, the amount of drivers intent on overtaking, only to gain a few places up the line.
We came back yesterday and there are still temporary traffic lights along with a big police/RAF/army presence. It is very sad for those involved and I personally found it quite unbelievable that the crash only merited 4th or 5th in the national news headlines of Thursday night!
