Local pensioner dies in fatal road collision

By Jo-Anna Bean

An 82-year-old man from Inverbervie who was hit by a car yesterday (5/11/14), has died at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary.

James Lyall was taken to the hospital under police escort but he couldn't be saved.

He was knocked down on Inverbervie's King Street, near Kirkburn, at around 3:15pm.  The 36-year-old driver of the black Audi was uninjured in the crash.  Onlookers said he hit Mr Lyall after being dazzled by the low winter sun.

The road was closed for several hours while police pieced together the circumstances of the tragic accident.

There has since been a call for increased road safety on Inverbervie's main thoroughfare.

The What's on Inverbervie Facebook page said: "Our thoughts and prayers are with his family."

Hallowe'en Haunted House proves a hit with locals

By Jo-Anna Bean

Last night's (31/10/14) Hallowe'en Haunted House at the Burgh Hall drew in many locals who enjoyed the spooky family activities.

Guests could throw the sponge at the witch, dooking for apples and facepainting, among others.

The fundraising event was hosted by Bervie Play Parks, who recently enjoyed the opening of their first renovated park in Inverbervie, the Cutty Park.

Dawn Sinclair, a member of Bervie Play Parks, said: "It's just a great, fun, family event.  There's all sorts of disgusting things I have to cook up, cold spaghetti, peeled grapes and things for people to put their hands in.  It's just great to have a family event for Hallowe'en."

This was the event's third year, and the first since the new park was opened.

The What's On Inverbervie facebook page said: "Another packed out family event.  Great fun."
