Two people have died in a horror crash on Scotland's most dangerous road last night.
Emergency services rushed to the scene on the A82 by Achnabobane, near Spean Bridge in the Highlands, around 7.35pm last night, following the two-car collision.
A 60-year-old female, who was behind the wheel of a Fiat Fiorino, and the 25-year-old male driver of a BMW three series were both pronounced dead at the scene.
A section of the road - known as Scotland's most dangerous due to the number of crashes each year - was closed for eight hours while Police Scotland launched a probe to establish the full circumstances of the collision.
The force have urged anyone who observed the vehicles before the incident, or who witnessed the crash, to get in touch.
Sergeant Alasdair MacKay from the Road Policing Unit in Dingwall said: “Our enquiries are continuing to establish the full circumstances surrounding this collision and our thoughts and condolences are with the family and friends of the woman and the man who died.
“I would urge anyone who may have witnessed the crash, or observed the vehicles beforehand to please contact us as soon as possible.
"Likewise, any motorists with dash-cams who were travelling on the A82 shortly before the crash are asked to check any footage in case you have captured anything which could be of significance to our investigation.
“The road was closed for around eight hours with diversions in place, and I would like to thank the public for their patience while emergency services attended. Anyone with information should call Police Scotland on 101, quoting reference number 3181 of 18 August.”
