Emergency services attended and Mr Buckley, the rider of the motorcycle, was pronounced dead at the scene. 

His family have issued a statement:

“Our Darling Dave will be forever missed and never forgotten. He was a wonderful father, husband, son, brother, uncle and friend to everyone who knew him. 

“We are deeply grateful for the outpouring of love and support from family and friends during this difficult time. In these tragic circumstances, we kindly request privacy."



The driver of the Audi, a 72-year-old man, was taken to Forth Valley Hospital  and treated for minor injuries. 

The road was closed for around 10 hours while crash investigation work was carried out. 

Sergeant Fraser Easton, from the Road Policing Unit in Stirling said, “Our thoughts remain with family and friends of David at this difficult time, and we will continue to offer them support.

“Our enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances and I would appeal to anyone who has not already spoken to officers to come forward if they have any information that could assist with our investigation.

“We are still looking to trace the driver of a white Dacia Duster, which was seen in the area at the time of the crash as we believe they may have information that could assist officers.

“We are also asking anyone driving in the area at the time to check their dash-cams to see if they have any footage that would help with our enquiries.”
