A 56-year-old man died in a three-vehicle crash near Castle Stuart yesterday evening.

The man was driving a Renault Clio which was involved in a collision with a Honda Civic and a Mercedes Vito van on the B9039 at around 5.20pm.

Nobody else was in the Renault Clio and the man was pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver of the Honda Civic was taken to Raigmore Hospital with non-life threatening injuries, while the driver of the Mercedes was uninjured.

Sergeant Ewan Calder said: "Our thoughts are with the deceased’s family and friends at this time.

"The road was closed for around seven hours to allow for an investigation at the scene, and we are continuing work today to establish the full circumstances of the collision.

"In particular, we would be keen to speak with anyone who may have witnessed the collision itself, or who may have seen any of the vehicles involved prior to the incident.

"We would also be keen to receive any potential dashcam footage from the area.”

Anyone with information should call police on 101, quoting incident 2776 of November 13.
