One dead and five injured in horror crash between Fort William and Glenfinnan in west Highlands

One person has died and five others have been injured in a horror crash between Fort William and Glenfinnan in the west Highlands.

The incident took place on the A830 road towards Mallaig at about 12:45pm near Fassfern at Loch Eil.

Five vehicles were involved in the collision with four ambulances and two air ambulances sent to the scene.

The incident involved a red Audi RS3, a black Subaru Impreza, a white Renault Clio, a silver Ford S Max and a blue VW Transporter which was parked in a nearby lay-by.

Police say none of the five people taken to hospital have life-threatening injuries.

Roads Policing Sergeant Donnie Mackinnon said: “Firstly my thoughts are with all those who have been affected by this tragic incident. 

“Enquiries are ongoing to establish the circumstances which led to this collision and I urge anyone who may have seen the incident happen, or the vehicles being driven prior to the collision, to come forward.

"In particular I appeal to anyone with dash-cam footage to contact police if you haven’t spoken to an officer yet. 

“Please call Police on 101 quoting incident number 1599 of August 19.” 

The A830 at Fassfern was closed as police accident investigators examined the scene.
