A WOMAN has died following a horror crash between a car, a van and a lorry.
Emergency services were called to the scene on the A96 near Inverness earlier today.
The crash happened between a Tesla, a Citroen Dispatch van and a HGV.
Three other people were left seriously injured in the collision.
The 51-year-old woman was traveling in the Tesla and was taken to Raigmore Hospital in Inverness where she died.
Two men were in the car, a 53-year-old and a 23-year-old, and were also taken to Riagmore Hospital.
The 53-year-old man is in critical condition and the 23-year-old is being treated for serious injuries.
A 37-year-old man, the driver of the Citroen van, was airlifted to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary and is in a serious condition.
The 69-year-old driver of the HGV was uninjured.
The road was closed to allow for investigations to be carried out.
It has since reopened.
Police are now appealing for anyone with information, who may have seen the collision to get in touch.

“A full investigation is under way to establish the full circumstances of how this collision occurred.
“I am appealing to anyone who was on the A96 who may have seen the vehicles or witnessed the crash to contact us.
