POLICE are appealing for information after a crash on the A890 between Achnasheen and Achtertyre left a man with life-threatening injuries and two more people in serious condition.
The incident, which involved a blue Volkswagen Tiguan and a black Range Rover, took place around 3.45pm on Sunday.
The 33-year-old driver of the Range Rover was airlifted to Glasgow's Queen Elizabeth University Hospital with life-threatening injuries, while the 78-year-old male driver of the Tiguan was airlifted to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary in "serious but stable" condition.

The 73-year-old female passenger in the Tiguan was taken by ambulance to Raigmore Hospital in Inverness.
No one else was seriously injured in the crash. The A890 was closed at the site of the collision, and reopened around midnight.
Sergeant Doug Scott said: “Our enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances of what happened, and we are asking anyone who can assist to get in touch.
“If you were in the area at the time and can help or have dash-cam footage that has captured useful information then please make contact with officers.”
Anyone who can assist I asked to call Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 2181 of Sunday, August 25.
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!
