A Chinese tourist has been jailed for 14 months after killing a motorcyclist in a crash on the A9.

Andrew MacPherson, 63, was heading for the North Coast 500 when he collided with Die Huang, who was driving on the wrong side of the road in June.

Huang was on holiday in Scotland with her son, who lives and studies in London.

The 51-year-old was driving on a section of the A9 which was dual carriageway but about two miles before the collision site it merged into one road.

She pulled out into the path of Andrew, causing him to be thrown into the air.

He suffered catastrophic injuries after the collision near Calvine.

Huang has also been disqualified from driving for five years and seven months.

Judge Lord Harrower told Huang: "No sentence of this court can alleviate the anguish being suffered by Mr MacPherson’s entire family."
