A9 Slochd couple who died in crash were from Norfolk
A couple who died following a crash on the A9 at Slochd[1] have now been named as Teresa Dyer and Gareth Watts[2]. The crash happened at around 7.10am last Monday and involved a white Ford Fiesta car and a white Vauxhall Vivaro van.
The occupants of the car - Teresa Dyer (45) and Gareth Watts (43), from the Norfolk area - were both pronounced dead at the scene. The two male occupants of the van were taken to Raigmore Hospital in Inverness for treatment and later discharged.
The road was closed for around seven hours to allow for a police investigation[3] at the scene. Sergeant Chris Donaldson said: "Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Teresa and Gareth, who have asked for privacy at this time. "Our investigation to establish what led to this collision is ongoing.
We would urge anyone with information or dashcam footage from around that time, which would assist our enquiry, to get in touch.
"Anyone who can help is asked to call 101, quoting reference 0441 of September 15, 2025."
