A WOMAN and her two dogs have died after being hit by a car in the Highlands.
Emergency services were called to the B9152 road near the Granish Junction in Aviemore on Friday at around 9.45pm following a collision between a grey Peugeot 207 and a pedestrian.
A 40-year-old woman and both her Husky-type dogs were pronounced dead at the scene.

The 20-year-old male driver of the grey Peugeot was not injured.
The road was closed for around 10 hours before being re-opened at 8am on Saturday.
Officers investigating the incident are now appealing for information and have appealed for any witnesses to come forward.
Sergeant Calum MacAulay, Road Policing North, said: “We are keen to hear from anyone who may have seen the crash or either the car or the lady prior to the incident.
“We believe the lady had been in Aviemore just before and had been walking with her two Husky type dogs at that time.
“If you were driving in the area near where the crash took place and have any dashcam footage of the woman or the car, then please contact police.”
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!
