TWO teenagers were killed and two others seriously injured following a two vehicle road crash near Inverness on Thursday night.
Georgia Gilham (16), from Inverness, died at the scene following the crash on the B9006 near Sunnyside at 6.50pm. North Kessock man John Foggo (18) later died at Raigmore Hospital from injuries he had sustained.
Both were passengers in a black Vauxhall Corsa which collided with a white Mercedes C Class car.
Police said the 19-year-old male driver of the Corsa and a 16-year-old female passenger were also taken to Raigmore Hospital, where they were receiving treatment for "serious injuries".
The driver and passenger of the Mercedes were also taken to hospital for treatment and later discharged with no serious injuries, police said.
The road was closed for around seven hours to allow for a full investigation to take place.
Police Inspector Ian Graham said: “Our thoughts are with the families and friends of Georgia and John, who tragically lost their lives as a result the 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."
