Police have named a man killed in a horrific crash on the busiest road through Angus.
Darren Mills, of Dundee, died in the collision on the A90 Dundee to Aberdeen road near Tealing on Thursday.
The 32-year-old is said to have been behind the wheel of the van when it collided with a Stagecoach 22 service at about 8.10am.
He died at the scene.
Inspector Greg Burns from the Dundee Road Policing Unit said: “Our thoughts remain with Mr Mills’ family at this sad time.
“His family have described him as a much loved son, brother and uncle who will be sadly missed.
“They have asked that the media respect their privacy at this difficult time.”
“Our investigations continue and I would urge anyone who witnessed the collision or may have dash-cam footage of the incident who have not yet spoken to the Police to do so on 101, quoting reference number 0550 of March 12.”
Several people were taken to Ninewells Hospital suffering from serious injuries following the collision.
One person is said to have been thrown from a window on the upper deck of the bus due to the impact.
The accident prompted a massive emergency response with seven ambulances and a helicopter called to the scene.
About 20 passengers were on the bus, which was travelling from Kirriemuir to Dundee, at the time.
One person who was on-board told The Courier of the “absolutely terrifying” incident.
