A KEY Scottish road was closed for seven hours after a fatal three-vehicle collision.
A 63-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene of a three-vehicle crash involving a white Hyundai Ioniq car and two motorcycles, a maroon and a blue Harley Davidson.
The passengers of the car were taken to Ninewells Hospital.
The A9, an important road which connects the Central Belt to Inverness and the Highlands, was shut at around 1.30pm on Sunday after the incident near Calvine, north of Pitlochry.
Police have appealed for information around the crash – and a 50-year-old woman has been arrested and charged in connection with the incident.
She is due to appear at Dundee Sheriff Court on Monday, 24 June, 2024.
Road Policing Sergeant William Strachan said: “Our enquiries are continuing into the circumstances of this collision in which a man sadly died, and our thoughts are with his family at this time.
“I would ask anyone who may have witnessed the crash, or who may have dash-cam footage, and has not yet spoken to or provided this information to officers, to contact us as soon as possible."
Anyone with information is urged to contact Police Scotland on 101 quoting reference 1828 of 23 June, 2024.
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!
