First picture of lorry driver killed in A9 horror smash as family pay tribute

A lorry driver who tragically died after being involved in a horror smash with another HGV and three cars has been named by police.

Gordon Innes, from Invergordon, was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash on the A9, near Alness in the Highlands, on Tuesday, April 12.

The 58-year-old's family has said he will be "sorely missed" in a touching tribute released alongside a photo of the lorry driver.

The crash occurred north of the Skiach junction around 12.25pm on Tuesday, and involved two lorries and three cars.

Gordon Innes was the driver and sole occupant of one of the lorries.

The other drivers and passengers were checked over by the ambulance service but did not require hospital treatment.

Gordon’s family has released the following statement: “Gordon will be sorely missed.

"We would like to thank our family and friends for the support we have received in our time of need and at this difficult time we ask that our privacy is respected.”

Sergeant Kate Park, of the Dingwall Road Policing Unit, said: “Our thoughts remain with Gordon’s family and friends at this difficult time.

“Enquiries into the circumstances of the crash remain ongoing and we continue to urge anyone with information, or possible dashcam footage from the area, to call 101, quoting incident number 1197 of 12 April.”
