Man convicted following fatal crash in Aberdeen

A man has been convicted of causing death by dangerous driving following a fatal crash in Aberdeen.

Connor Wilson, 23, pleaded guilty to causing the death of Gabriel Lungu, 43, at the High Court in Edinburgh on Monday, 18 March, 2024. It follows a two vehicle collision on Hilton Drive around 6.25pm on Thursday, 30 December, 2021.

He’s due to be sentenced at a later date.

Road Policing Inspector Steve Manson, who led the investigation, said: “No conviction or sentence will ever reflect the devastating impact this has had on Mr Lungu’s family but I hope this conviction will bring some form of justice. Our thoughts remain with them.

“Connor Wilson’s reckless actions lead to Gabriel Lungu’s death and he now faces the consequences of that.

“It’s a stark reminder that drivers are responsible for their actions and the risks they take have lasting implications not only for themselves, but also for other road users."
