Police have closed the road.

Police have named the 72-year-old man killed in a two-vehicle crash on Lewis.

Philip Walker, from Anglesey in Wales, had been visiting the area on holiday.

The incident happened around 10.30am on the A858 near Carloway on September 11 and involved a Ford Transit van and a camper van which was driven by Mr Walker.

A female passenger from the campervan and two occupants of the Transit van were all uninjured.

His family released a statement through the police:

“We are grateful for everybody who assisted at the scene, the love and support provided by staff at Western Isles Hospital and the assistance provided by the wider community in the Isle of Lewis in the days following.

“We now ask that the media respect our privacy at this difficult time.”

Sergeant David Miller from the Road Policing Unit in Dingwall said:  “Our thoughts remain with Mr Walker’s family and friends at this difficult time.

“Our inquiries remain ongoing and we are continuing to urge anyone who may have witnessed the collision or who has any other information to come forward.

“This includes anyone who may have seen either vehicle prior to the incident or who may have dashcam footage.

“Anyone with information that may assist our investigation should contact Police Scotland through 101, quoting reference 965 of September 11.”
