Appeal for Dacia driver after fatal Stirling crash
Sergeant Fraser Easton, from the road policing unit in Stirling, said, “Our thoughts remain with family and friends of David at this difficult time, and we will continue to offer them support.
“Our inquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances and I would appeal to anyone who has not already spoken to officers to come forward if they have any information that could assist with our investigation.
“We are still looking to trace the driver of a white Dacia Duster, which was seen in the area at the time of the crash as we believe they may have information that could assist officers.
“We are also asking anyone driving in the area at the time to check their dash-cams to see if they have any footage that would help with our enquiries.”
