Two people have been to hospital after a car came off the road and entered nearby water in Argyll and Bute.
Emergency services were called to the A83 near Glenburn Road in Ardrishaig at around 11.30am on Thursday to reports of a one-vehicle crash.
A man and woman were rescued from their car after it left the road and ended up in shallow water in Loch Gilp.
Police have since confirmed that the pair were taken by ambulance to the Mid Argyll Community Hospital in Lochgilphead.
Enquiries are currently ongoing to establish the cause of the incident.

All lanes were closed in both directions on the A83 shortly after the incident.
They were then reopened at 1.30pm to allow congestion to clear, but Police Scotland said the road is now fully open.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
