Inverness mum wants to find out human cost of 'killer' A82 road

A grieving mum wants to recruit an army of families whose lives have been ripped apart by one of Scotland’s deadliest roads.

Samantha Cousin says she will not stop campaigning until life-saving improvements are made on the A82.

Her efforts come a month after her son Rhys (25), his wife Gemma (26) and their daughters Peyton (3) and Heidi (1) were killed in a crash on the trunk road near Fort William.

Ms Cousin (46) is now making a plea for relatives of other people killed or seriously injured on the A82 to come forward as she tries to build the human story of the killer road.

“I refuse to let my family become just another statistic,” she said.
