Heart-broken family members and friends have paid tribute to a biker who was killed in a crash near Coupar Angus.

David Robertson, from Blairgowrie, died following a collision on the A923 on Thursday evening.

The 32-year-old has been described as a “cheeky, happy-go-lucky” person by relatives who took to social media to leave messages.

John Robertson said: “No words can describe how empty we all feel.

“You touched so many lives with your fun loving, friendly, cheeky, happy-go-lucky character.

“We made memories I will cherish forever. I’ll miss you more than you’ll ever know. Rest easy up there till we meet again.”

Charlene Dawson added: “I am heart broken.

“I keep thinking about all the laughs from nursery to secondary school. Can’t believe you’re gone. Gone far too soon. My heart goes out to his beautiful children, wife and family. RIP David.”

Police and other emergency services attended the scene on Thursday and the road was closed off for several hours.

A Police Scotland spokesman said: “We can confirm that a motorcyclist who sadly died as a result of a road traffic collision on A923 on Thursday, April 5 has now been formally identified.

“He has been named as 32-year-old David Robertson from Blairgowrie.”

“Enquiries into the full set of circumstances of the incident are on-going.”

Officers have appealed for any witnesses to the accident, which happened close to the Bendochy crossroads.

Anyone who saw a green and black motorcycle or a black Ford Kuga car in the area before the accident is urged to call police on 101.

The force spokesman added: “As with all sudden deaths a report has been submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.”
