The crash comes as parts of Scotland awoke to thick fog on Tuesday morning.
Transport Scotland warned drivers to “safely pull in” and park with their hazards on should their visibility become too poor to continue their journey.
ScotRail warned commuters to take care at railway stations on Tuesday morning.
“We’re doing our best to make sure platforms are gritted, but they might still be slippy,” a spokesperson said.
It was a chilly night last night and the hills above the #A83 above Glen Kinglas are looking stunning.
