A woman has died in a crash involving a car and a lorry in the Highlands.

“Our inquiries are ongoing to establish what happened and we are appealing for anyone who was on the A9 around this time and who witnessed the crash or either vehicle on the road beforehand to contact us.

“I would also ask drivers with dashcam footage who were in the area to contact us if they believe they can assist.”
