A VAN driver has been killed following a four-vehicle crash on the A9 on Tuesday.
The 49-year-old driver of a Peugeot Bipper was involved in a crash with a white Scania lorry, a blue Ford Focus and a Honda HRV near Ballinluig.
Police have confirmed he was pronounced dead at the scene while the 26-year-old male driver of the lorry, the 36-year-old female driver of the Ford Focus and the 66-year-old driver of the Honda HRV were taken to Ninewells Hospital.
The road was shut for around 10 hours while investigations were carried out.
Constable Mike Gauld said: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the man who died at this difficult time.
“Our enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances and I am appealing for anyone who witnessed the crash, and who has not already spoken to officers, to get in touch.
“I would also appeal to anyone who was driving in this area around that time and who may have dash cam footage which could assist us to contact us.”
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!
