Police are re-appealing for information after the death of a 39-year-old man who had been seriously injured following a road crash in Coatbridge on Tuesday.
Stephen Brown, 39, from Viewpark, was struck by a lorry whilst crossing Kirkshaws Road, at its junction with North Road around 11.40 am last Tuesday morning.
He was taken by ambulance to Glasgow Royal Infirmary, but sadly died yesterday, police have now confirmed.
His relatives have been made aware and a report has been submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.
The 48-year-old driver of the lorry was uninjured.
Sergeant Craig McDonald, Road Policing Unit, Motherwell, has issued a further appeal for witnesses and thanked those who had already been in touch.
He said: “I am keen to get a hold of any dash-cam footage drivers in the area at the time may have. From our enquiries so far, we know that there were a number of vehicles traveling east on Kirkshaws Road when the crash happened, so would ask any of those people, especially those with dash-cameras, to get in touch with police as soon as they can.
"We'd like to thank those who been in you touch so far, but if you haven't, and can assist, then please call officers at the Road Policing Unit at Motherwell via 101 quoting reference number 1025 of 2 March 2021."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
