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."
