Two men dead after vehicle leaves road and plunges into water

The A87 remains closed at the junction with the A82, police said.

Two men have died after their vehicle left the road and plunged into water on the A87.

Emergency services were called to the road after 8am near the Invergarry Hotel on Friday morning.

A car was found in the River Garry and two men, aged 27 and 31, were pronounced dead at the scene.

STV understands that the two men were not from the local area.

The A87 was closed in both directions at Invermoriston and Spean Bridge for the A82 and at Invergarry and Bun Loyne for the A87 but has since reopened.
