Police Request Information After Fatal A9 Collision

Authorities have requested public assistance following a fatal four-vehicle collision in Highland Perthshire, which resulted in the death of a 49-year-old man. Emergency responders, comprising an air ambulance and fire brigades, were dispatched to the site on the A9 close to Ballinluig, approximately at 08:15 on Tuesday. The collision involved four vehicles: a white Scania lorry, a blue Ford Focus, a white Peugeot Bipper, and a Honda HRV. Law enforcement officials confirmed that the driver of the Peugeot was declared deceased at the location of the accident. The 26-year-old male driver of the lorry, the 36-year-old female driver of the Focus, and the 66-year-old male driver of the HRV were all transported to Ninewells Hospital in Dundee. The thoroughfare stayed shut for over 10 hours, eventually reopening just before 19:00. Consequently, hundreds of motorists found themselves stranded in frigid temperatures and encountered detours ranging from 26 to 36 miles in length. PC Mike Guild stated: “Our inquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances and I am appealing for anyone who witnessed the crash, and who has not already spoken to officers, to get in touch.” He further added: “I would also appeal to anyone who was driving in this area around that time and who may have dashcam footage which could assist us to contact us.”
