A man who died in a horrific three-car crash on a notorious Scots road has been identified as George Leslie Norris.
The 64-year-old, from Bankfoot in Perthshire, died after his silver Ford C-Max was involved in a collision with a Mercedes Sprinter van and a blue Renault Captur hatchback on the A9 near Kingussie at the heart of the Cairngorms in the Highlands. Despite the best efforts of paramedics, he was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash.
Police are continuing to make enquiries into the circumstances around the crash, which took place at around 6.45pm on Wednesday October 12.
Constable Nicola Curley, of the Highland and Islands Road Policing Unit said: “Our thoughts are with Mr Norris’s family at this very difficult time.
“Enquiries remain ongoing to establish the full circumstances and I am requesting anyone who may have any information or dash cam footage of the their journey on the A9 around the time please call 101, quoting reference 2835 of 12 October 2022.”
The male driver of the van, aged 41, and his 20-year-old passenger were checked over by paramedics at the scene, as were the 61-year-old female driver and 79-year-old male passenger of the Renault crossover. The van had been towing a trailer carrying a small tractor.
