Road blocked near Ackergill

[badger]

A friend has just warned me the road is blocked near Ackergill as she knows I'll be driving in to Wick later. It would be helpful for many I'm sure if anyone nearby could tell us when it is clear again.

According to BBC news website (Scotland) there has been an accident on the road

I didn't mention it was an accident as we're asked not to speculate for the sake of families but, yes, details are on BBC. Can't think where they can be diverting - not much choice for getting in/out of Wick.

Just spoken to a friend in Freswick who says BBC has it wrong - it's not at Ackergill, it's at Auckengill. So road from J O'G is closed but not Castletown/Wick. Even police site spells it wrong - Auckergill.
