A9 crash victim named by police

Police said Ms Lindsay died at the scene of the crash

A woman who died in a two-vehicle crash on the A9 in the Highlands on Thursday afternoon has been named by police.

Linda Lindsay was pronounced dead at the scene of the collision, on the Nuide Straight, near Kingussie.

The 63-year-old from Glasgow was a passenger in one of the vehicles. Two other people were seriously injured and were taken to hospital in Inverness.

There have been calls for the A9 to be made a dual carriageway all the way from Perth to Inverness.

The Scottish Government said improvements would be considered in its transport strategy.
