A MAN who died in a motor crash last month has been named as Alistair Boath.
Police identified the 64-year-old in a statement two weeks after the incident which took place at around 11.55pm on Glasgow Road on Monday, July 31.
In a statement, his family said: “We are devastated by the loss of Alistair who was well known in the area and was loved by family, friends and former colleagues at the BBC, where he worked for many years.
“We are asking for privacy at this very difficult time and would like to thank everyone for their kind words.”
Enquiries are ongoing surrounding the crash, which is believed to have involved a bus.
Police Sergeant Ruth Aitchison, of the Road Policing Unit, said: “Our thoughts remain with Alistair’s family and friends at this difficult time.
“We are continuing with our enquiries to establish the full circumstances surrounding the crash.
“Anyone with any further information is asked to please contact us through 101 quoting reference number 4407 of Monday, July 31, 2023.”
