It was the second fatal crash in the Highlands in the space of three days.

A female was flown to Raigmore Hospital with serious head injuries while the other two male occupants sustained minor injuries and were conveyed by ambulance to Belford Hospital, Fort William, with minor injuries.

The road was closed for six and a half hours and diversions set up.
