A man and a woman have died following a crash on the A9 in Caithness.
The incident involved a white Land Rover Defender at Achavanich, north of Latheron, shortly after 11.40am on yesterday.
The 46-year-old male driver and 50-year-old female passenger were both pronounced dead at the scene.
No other vehicles were involved.
The road was closed until around 9.30pm to allow for an investigation at the scene and has since reopened.
Sergeant Calum MacAulay, of Police Scotland’s Road Policing Unit, said: “Our thoughts are with the families and friends of both people who have died in this incident.
“We are working to establish the full circumstances which led to the collision and I would urge anyone who may have information to come forward.
“We would be keen to anyone who may have seen the Land Rover on the road prior to the incident or who may have dashcam footage from the area.
“Anyone who can help is asked to call 101, quoting reference 1064 of 29 November.”
