Overturned lorry        28/11/11

An articulated lorry overturned off the road in Harris today.

It is not known if the high winds experienced locally were a factor in the incident.

No-one was hurt and only one vehicle, which belongs to Lewis haulier DR Macleod, was involved in the incident which occurred around 1.30pm.

Traffic suffered brief delays as the road near Arhasaig quarry, some three miles north of Tarbert, was partially blocked for a period while a crane summoned from Stornoway carried out a lifting operation to recover the truck.
