A motorcyclist was airlifted to hospital after a crash in Argyll and Bute.
The A85 was closed for eight hours as a result of the crash, which took place around 1.50pm on Sunday.
The incident – which took place at Bridge of Awe near Taynuilt – involved a white Yamaha motorcycle and a grey Renault Master van.
The 35-year-old motorcyclist was airlifted to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow where his condition is described as “serious”.
The 38-year-old driver of the van was uninjured.
Sergeant Archie Mcguire said: “A man has sustained serious injuries as a result of this incident so it is important that we establish how this crash occurred.
“We are appealing for anyone who witnessed the crash and has not already spoken with officers to get in touch with police.
“In particular, we are keen to speak to a motorcyclist who we believe to have witnessed the collision.
“I would also ask anyone who was in the area with dash-cam devices to check their footage as it could hold images that could help us in our enquiries.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101, quoting then reference number 2010 of Sunday July 31.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.
