Two girls age one and three have died along with their mother and father following a crash in the Highlands.

The collision involving a Mini Cooper and a Ford Fiesta happened on the A82 by Hillfarm, Torlundy, at around 5.30pm on Thursday.

Police said a 26-year-old woman, a 25-year-old man and two girls aged one and three who were in the Mini Cooper were pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver of the Ford Fiesta, a 56-year-old woman, was taken to Belford Hospital, Fort William, with injuries described as serious but non-life threatening.

The A82 was closed for around 11 and a half hours after the crash.

Kate Forbes, MSP for Skye, Lochaber and Badenoch, tweeted: “This is extremely sad news. Thinking of the families and friends who are dealing with the shock of all of this.”

In a post on Facebook, local councillor Andrew Baxter wrote: “It’s terrible news to hear of loss of life on our roads.

“Even more so when tragedy hits a young family like this.”.
