A MOTORCYCLIST has died following a fatal crash on a busy Scots road.
At around 3pm on Monday October 25, the 43-year-old rider was involved in a collision with an SUV vehicle on the A93 in Aberdeenshire.
Police today revealed the male rider of the motorcycle was sadly pronounced dead on the scene by emergency services.
The man was riding a white and orange KTM motorcycle on the road between Drumoak and Peterculter when he collided with a blue Toyota Rav4 car near the Drum Castle junction.
Police are now appealing to the public for information surrounding the incident.
Sergeant Chris Smith of the North East Road Policing Unit said: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the man who has died in this crash.
“Our enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances and I would urge anyone who may have witnessed the incident or who has any other information to get in touch.
“We would also be keen to speak to anyone who may have dashcam footage from that stretch of road shortly before 3pm on Monday afternoon.
"Anyone with information can call 101, quoting incident 2130 of October 25."
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.

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.
