A southbound blue Citroen C3 and a grey Honda CRV travelling north collided.

However, the 24-year-old female passenger of the Citroen C3 died at the scene.
The A82 between Invermoriston and Drumnadrochit was closed after the collision at 3.15pm and remained closed until 9.30pm.
Sergeant David Miller, of the Road Policing Unit, Highlands and Islands, said: “Although we have spoken to a number of people who stopped following the crash, we are still keen to hear from anyone who saw the crash or possibly the cars on the road just prior to the collision.
“We’re also looking for any dash-cam footage of the area at the time.
“Information can be passed to Road Policing Officers at Dingwall Police Station via 101.”
