Police launch appeal for information following New Elgin Road crash

Police Scotland are appealing for information following the serious crash on the A941.

Road Policing Sergeant Alexander Bowser-Riley said: “I’m appealing for anyone who witnessed the collision or saw either the car or pedestrian beforehand, to come forward.

“In particular I would be extremely keen to speak to the driver of a white Ford Focus who was in the area at the time and may have vital information.

“Similarly, I’d ask anyone with dashcam footage on the A941 around the time to review this and bring anything of significance to our attention.”

Anyone with information should contact police on 101 quoting reference 0547 of 30 December.

Police presence on Laichmoray Roundabout

A portion of the Laichmoray Roundabout was also closed this morning as officers scoured the area for evidence.

Two police cars and a van were seen on the road as well as a number of officers who investigated the areas around where the incident took place.
