A 22-YEAR-OLD man has been arrested after an elderly man died following a collision with a motorbike.
The incident, which took place on Sunday February 12 at around 5.15pm, happened on Balmore Road, Glasgow, and involved an off-road motorcycle.
The 79-year-old pedestrian, who has now been named by police as David Gow, died at the scene.
Sergeant Roy McCarney said: “Our thoughts are with the man’s family and friends at this difficult time.
“We are working to establish the full circumstances which led to this collision and I would urge anyone who may have information to come forward.
“We would also be keen to speak to anyone who may have dashcam or private CCTV footage from the area around the time of the collision.
“Anyone who can help is asked to call 101, quoting reference 2843 of February 12.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
