Ms Morrison, 26, was struck and killed on 25 October 2019 near Drumnadrochit when a steel beam from a lorry’s extended stabiliser leg swung out while she walked along a pavement with her mother.

In his fatal accident inquiry determination, Sheriff Ian Cruickshank said that precautions could have prevented the tragedy. He recommended improved driver training on stowing equipment safely and mandatory checks before journeys.

Sheriff Cruickshank described Ms Morrison as a young woman who loved her job and loved life. He added: “The circumstances surrounding Chloe’s death are unbelievably tragic. The loss to her family is immeasurable.”

Lorry driver John O’Donnell, 53, from Inverurie, was convicted of causing death by careless driving and sentenced in October 2022 to 100 hours of unpaid work and a 12-month driving ban.

The High Court in Inverness heard O’Donnell had dropped the stabiliser legs due to gales during a trip to Skye but was not trained to operate them. He denied extending or adjusting the controls, but CCTV showed the nearside outrigger’s yellow warning sign, indicating it was unlocked. A witness also reported seeing the outrigger swing out seconds before the collision.

Ms Morrison died from multiple fractures. Procurator fiscal Andy Shanks said: “The tragic death of Chloe Morrison occurred in circumstances giving rise to significant public concern and as such a discretionary fatal accident inquiry was instructed. Chloe’s death was a devastating loss for her family and my thoughts are with them at this difficult time.”
