Eighteen cars have been involved in separate crashes on the same stretch of road over the last two days.
Two collisions happened on the A9 in the Black Isle on Tuesday morning while another two took place on Monday morning.
No-one was thought to have been seriously injured in the crashes, which all happened between the Kessock Bridge and the Tore roundabout.
The first incident on Tuesday involved six cars and happened at about 8.30am on the southbound carriageway of the A9 between Allangrange junction and the Munlochy junction.
Emergency services were called and the road was cleared less than two hours later.
Around an hour after the first crash, four cars were involved in a bump slightly further south, at North Kessock.
On Monday morning, eight cars were involved in two separate crashes on the same stretch of road.
A woman was taken to hospital for treatment after six cars collided north of the Munlochy junction.
Two cars were involved in the second incident on Monday. There were no casualties but one car caught fire.
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.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
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. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
