Two vehicles, a green Daf flatbed lorry and a white Ford Transit Tipper, were involved in a head-on collision near the Cottage Inn.
Tragically both drivers, men aged 62 and 40, were killed. Their next of kin are aware and are being supported by specialist officers.
A young girl, who was a passenger in the lorry, was airlifted to hospital as a precaution and was found to have suffered only a minor injury.
The road was closed for several hours and reopened at around 10pm.
Anyone with information that could help officers with their investigation, including any dashcam footage of either vehicles ahead of or during the collision, is asked to report it to us, either online HERE, by emailing [email protected], or by calling 101.
