Two people who died following a crash on the A9 in the Scottish Highlands have been named by police.
Teresa Dyer, 45, and Gareth Watts, 43, from the Norfolk area, had been travelling in a white Ford Fiesta car when it was involved in a collision with a van at Slochd, between Inverness and Aviemore.
The collision happened shortly after 7am on Monday September 15.
Emergency services attended and Ms Dyer and Mr Watts were both pronounced dead at the scene.
The two males who had been travelling in the white Vauxhall Vivaro van were taken to Raigmore Hospital in Inverness for treatment and were later discharged.
The road was closed until about 2.45pm while investigations at the scene were carried out.
Sergeant Chris Donaldson of the Highland and Islands Road Policing Unit said: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Teresa and Gareth, who have asked for privacy at this time.
“Our investigation to establish what led to this collision is ongoing.
“We would urge anyone with information or dashcam footage from around that time, which would assist our inquiry, to get in touch.
“Anyone who can help is asked to call 101, quoting reference 0441 of September 15 2025.”
