Elderly Grantown road crash victim named by police
Matthew Donnell's car was in collision with a lorry
The elderly driver of a car who died after a crash with an articulated lorry in the Highlands has been named as Matthew Donnell
His black Peugeot 2008 collided with the DAF vehicle at around 11am on Wednesday on a section of the A939, known as the Dava road, a few miles away from his Grantown-on-Spey hometown.
The 86-year-old was driving the car and was pronounced dead at the scene.
An 81-year-old woman was also taken to Raigmore Hospital in Inverness where she remains for treatment. Her condition is still described as serious.
Sergeant David Miller said: Our thoughts are with Mr Donnell's family.
I would ask anyone who may have been driving along that stretch of road before the collision happened to get in touch and to check if they have any dash-cam footage that could help with our investigation.
