A lorry has overturned on a major Ayrshire road after a crash with a car this morning.
The male driver of the HGV has subsequently been taken to hospital.
Pictures from the incident show a car crashed at the front of the huge overturned vehicle.
Emergency services raced to the scene on the A77, two miles south of Girvan around 11.05am. The recovery of the vehicles is still ongoing.

Motorists have been told to expect restrictions in both directions.
