Prosecutors want “boy racers” acquitted of dangerous driving following a fatal road crash in the Highlands to face court once again.
Callum Fraser and Colin Maclennan were part of a wider group of young motorists who had met up in Dingwall on February 25, 2018.
The nine “hot hatch” drivers first travelled to Contin before continuing on the A835 towards Garve, driving “nose to tail” and engaging in dangerous overtaking manoeuvres.
At one stage Beauly 23-year-old Mikey Durdle was attempting to pass two other vehicles but, in doing so, clipped the car of 20-year-old Kyle Robertson.
