The A970 was closed while officers carried out investigations at the scene before reopening on the morning of Saturday.

Sergeant Calum MacAulay said:

“I am appealing to anyone who witnessed the crash or saw either vehicle prior to get in touch with officers.

“I’d also ask that those driving in the area at the time with dash-cam footage review this to see if it has captured anything that could assist with our investigation.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 0645 of 24 July 2026.
