THE A77 south of Girvan is currently closed following a road traffic collision.
Emergency services have been called to the scene near Lendalfoot following reports of a lorry overturning.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "The A77 is closed between Girvan and Ballantrae due to lorry crash.
"Please avoid the area and allow extra time for your journey as the diversion routes will be busier with additional traffic.
"There are no reports of any injuries. Officers were called to the incident around 9.05am this morning."
The Girvan RNLI lifeboat was also called out to the scene just before 9.30am on Tuesday morning.
A spokesperson said: "This morning at 9.24am our volunteer crew were paged to launch our all-weather lifeboat to attend the scene of an RTC south of Girvan to conduct a waterside search.
"As our crew had already assembled at the station and were getting kitted up, the launch was cancelled as the casualty had been located and was being cared for by the medical teams on site."
An Amey spokesperson said: "A77 currently restricted North of Lendalfoot due to emergency services dealing with an overturned HGV."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
