A section of the Mountain Road is currently closed following a crash.

Police have confirmed one vehicle has come off the road between the 33rd Milestone and Brandywell, but no other vehicles are involved.

The road is closed from the Beinn-y-Phott to the bungalow, where traffic is being diverted.

It comes as heavy fog is affecting visibility across the Island.

As a result, police are asking motorists to drive to the conditions.

Emergency personnel are currently on route, trying to clear the area.
