Published 25th Mar 2016

Following a two car crash on the B9006 on the outskirts of Inverness on Thursday police have named the victims as 16-year-old Georgia Gilham from Inverness and 18-year-old John Foggo from North Kessock.

Georgia and John were in a Vauxhall Corsa along with two other occupants who remain in Raigmore Hospital in a serious condition.

Two others in another vehicle, a Mercedes, were treated at Raigmore before being released last night. The road was closed for around seven hours to allow for a full investigation to take place.

Inspector Ian Graham said: “Our thoughts are with the families and friends of Georgia and John, who tragically lost their lives as a result of last night’s collision. I would like to thank those who assisted at the scene and to the fire and ambulance service for their support during the incident.”

"Enquiries are still ongoing into the circumstances. I would urge anyone who may have information that would assist, and who hasn't yet come forward, to do so as soon as possible."

Anyone with information is urged to contact Police on 101.
