The circumstances of a double fatal road smash near Dunkeld will be investigated by a court later this year.
A fatal accident inquiry has been ordered to probe the sudden death of Leven man Mark Brodie.
The 48-year-old died following a head-on crash on the A9 eight months ago.
James Williamson, 47, from Perth, also died in the collision.
The accident happened just after 4pm on February 26 and involved a silver Vauxhall Vectra and a green Toyota.
The stretch was closed in both directions for several hours while investigators tried to establish what went wrong.
Now, the procurator fiscal’s office has announced that Perth Sheriff Court will hold an inquiry into Mr Brodie’s death on December 2. A preliminary hearing to set out a timetable and confirm potential witnesses will take place on October 27.
The crash was the first accident involving multiple fatalities since controversial average speed cameras went live along the A9 in October 2014.
The so-called yellow vultures were installed in an attempt to put the brakes on speeding motorists.
Perth and North Perthshire MP Pete Wishart said at the time that the cameras were not to blame for the crash.
Alan Wylie, treasurer at Dunkeld and Birnam Community Council said, following the crash, that the cameras had calmed traffic but would not prevent serious accidents.
In a statement, the families of both men said they would be “greatly missed”.
The accident happened on a stretch of single carriageway that will be dualled as part of the Scottish Government’s planned £3 billion upgrade.
