The 37-year-old driver of the car was taken to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, Glasgow, and Police Scotland^[1] said he suffered serious injuries.

Two children in the car, aged six and 10, were taken to Raigmore Hospital, Inverness, with minor injuries.

The 49-year-old lorry driver also sustained minor injuries, police said.
