The driver of the Peugeot, an 86-year-old man, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Brora Rangers FC later paid tribute to supporter David More, saying he had died in the crash.

A club statement read: “It is with the heaviest of hearts and profound sadness that the club has learned of the passing of our supporter, David More, following the tragic road accident on Saturday.

“Our thoughts, love and prayers are with David’s wife, family and friends at this incredibly difficult time as they come to terms with this heartbreaking loss.

“David will be remembered in our thoughts, and we send our deepest condolences to all who knew and loved him.”

A 41-year-old man, the driver of the van, was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The road was closed for crash investigation work and re-opened around 3.25am on Sunday.
