A teenager died in a crash on the A82 after achieving his “dream” of climbing Ben Nevis, his family have said.

Jake Larmour, 18, was on his way back to see his family when he died in the collision on the road near Glencoe on Tuesday.

He was a passenger in a Seat Leon car which collided with a bus around 11.15am.

He and the driver were taken to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow, where he died.

Jake’s family released a statement through Police Scotland, saying: “Our beautiful baby boy Jake was taken from us after what was supposed to be one of the best days of his life.

“He’d been and climbed Ben Nevis which was a dream of his and was on his way home to tell us all about it.

“Words can’t describe how we are feeling, we were only celebrating his 18th birthday just over a week ago and now we are arranging his funeral.

“Please let us grieve as a family. Fly high our darling Jakey.”

Police said their investigation into the crash is ongoing.

Sergeant Ewan Calder said: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Jake at this very difficult time.

“Our inquiries into this crash are still ongoing and I would urge anyone who was travelling on the A82 around 11.15am on July 3 and saw what happened to contact us.

“Likewise, if you saw either vehicle prior to the collision and have information which may assist our investigation, please get in touch.

“I’d also ask drivers with dash-cam footage to review this and bring anything of significance to our attention.”
