Further appeal following A941 fatal road crash
Police investigating a fatal crash on the A941 Lossiemouth to Elgin road are continuing to appeal for information and are aware of footage circulating on social media showing one of the vehicles involved prior to the incident.
The incident happened at the junction with the B9135, around 8pm on Monday, 25 March, and involved a Sur-ron Light Bee-X e-bike, a blue Vauxhall Mokka, a red Renault Clio, a black Vauxhall Corsa and a white VW Golf.
Officers have learned of a video circulating on social media which appears to show the Sur-ron e-bike and its riders. Anyone with information on this video or who filmed it is urged to contact police as they may be able to assist with enquiries.
Two teenagers, pillions on the bike, were pronounced dead at the scene. One has been named as 17-year-old Marcus Beck. His family and that of the 16-year-old male have both have asked for privacy at this time.
A 14-year-old male youth, the rider of the bike, was taken to Dr Gray’s Hospital in Elgin with serious injuries, where he remains and his condition is described as stable. The driver of the Mokka, a 54-year-old man, was also taken to Dr Gray’s Hospital for treatment and later released.
Police have been working in partnership with Moray Council to ensure public safety as members of the community travel to the site of the crash to lay flowers. As such, the tributes have been moved alongside to the nearby cycle path on the south side of the junction.
Sergeant Iain Nicholson said: “Our extensive enquiries into the circumstances of the crash remain ongoing and we are particularly keen to hear from anyone with information on a video which appears to show the e-bike and its riders at an earlier time.
“We understand that this has been an extremely traumatic incident not only to the families and friends of those involved, but also the wider community.
“People will rightly want to pay tribute and we respectfully ask anyone visiting the site to please park sensibly and away from the junction for everyone’s safety, or alternatively reach the area via the cycle path.”
Anyone who can help is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 3247 of Monday, 25 March, 2024.
