A WOMAN has died after a crash involving a car and a lorry in the Highlands.
The accident occurred on the A95 near Broomhill, Badenoch, at 7.45am on Wednesday.
A 38-year-old woman, who was driving a grey Ford Focus, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The other driver, a 53-year-old man, who was in a blue Volvo articulated lorry was not injured.
Police have appealed for information.
Sergeant Chris Donaldson of Police Scotland’s Road Policing Unit said: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the woman who died as a result of the crash, and our inquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances.
“I am appealing to anyone who witnessed or was in the area around the time of the crash to contact us, and I would also ask that anyone who may have dashcam footage which could assist our investigation to get in touch.
“Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101, quoting incident number 0487 of September 14.”
The road was closed for around eight hours as police investigated the crash and has now re-opened.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
