The A9 was closed in both directions after a tanker erupted into flames after crashing on the carriageway.
The collision happened at around 3.30pm on Friday on the major route near the Queen Victoria school slip-road in Dunblane, north of Stirling.
A video from the scene shows the HGV’s cab engulfed in fire with thick, dark smoke rising above it.
A spokeswoman for SFRS confirmed that no one was injured as a result of the blaze.
