It happened near to the on-slip for the A85, close to the pedestrian footbridge, around 12.35am on Tuesday, 28 May, 2024.

Emergency services attended, however the 53-year-old male pedestrian was pronounced dead at the scene.

“Despite the time of night, the A9 was still busy with traffic and our enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances surrounding the crash.

“I would like to speak to anyone who was in the area from around 12.20am and may have seen what happened.
