Appeal following fatal road crash on A908 near Tillicoultry

Road Policing officers in Forth Valley are appealing for information following a fatal road crash on the A908 near Tillicoultry.

Officers were attending another incident when they came across a black Volkswagen Golf, partially concealed in woodland, down an embankment at the junction with Lower Mill Street around 9am on Sunday, 27 March, 2022. The 38-year-old male driver and sole occupant of the car was found dead within.

Following enquiries, it has been established that the car may have crashed whilst travelling eastbound between Sauchie and Tillicoultry between 5am and 8am but the crash is not believed to have been witnessed and had not been previously reported to the emergency services.

The road was closed for around eight hours while investigations were carried out.

The death isn’t being treated as suspicious, however, enquiries into the cause of the crash are ongoing.

Constable Fraser Easton, of the Stirling Road Policing Unit, said: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the man who died.

“I would urge anyone who may have witnessed the crash or been on the road in the early hours of Sunday morning contact us.

“Similarly I would appeal to anyone who has dash-cam footage to contact officers as soon as possible.

“Anyone with information can contact police via 101, quoting incident number 0962 of 27 March, 2022.”
