The collision happened on Friday at around 2.30pm on the A828 Oban to Fort William Road near Castle Stalker and involved a silver Honda Civic and a black HGV. Three men traveling in the Honda died at the scene, while a fourth male occupant of the car was taken to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow with serious injuries. A 47-year-old man was arrested for a traffic offense and released pending further enquiries. The road between Oban and Fort William was closed for around 12 hours after the crash and reopened on Saturday afternoon. After the collision, police had warned motorists not to travel in the area “unless absolutely necessary” due to the road closure. Sergeant Kevin Craig said: “At this time, our thoughts are with the families and friends of the deceased. “I would also like to thank the public for their patience and understanding as officers attended the scene and carried out their enquiries. “We are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding this crash and would ask anyone with information or who witnessed anything to contact officers on 101 quoting incident 1976 of Friday 19 August 2022.”
