A silver ford C-Max travelling south on the single carriageway near Kingussie was involved in a collision with two vehicles travelling north – a white Mercedes Sprinter van towing a trailer carrying a small tractor and a blue/black Renault Captur.
The crash occurred around 6.45pm on Wednesday.
The driver of the Ford, a 64-year-old-man, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The 41-year-old male driver of the van and his 20-year-old male passenger were checked over by paramedics.
The female driver of the Renault, 61, and her 79-year-old male passenger were also treated at the scene.
The road was closed while crash investigations were carried out and it reopened around 4am on Thursday.
