Lives torn apart by fatal crashes on Scotland's longest road
Tragedies and lives lost on Scotland's A9, the longest road in the country, with 48 fatalities on the 113-mile route between Inverness and Perth in the last decade. The latest victim, Katie, along with her brother and mother, died in a crash while on a dream trip related to the TV show Outlander. Plans to upgrade the A9 to dual carriageway by 2035 have faced setbacks, with safety concerns raised due to accidents on single-carriageway sections. Transport authorities grapple with challenges to improve road safety and reduce fatalities on the notorious A9.
