TRAFFIC police investigating a fatal crash on the M90 at Craigend have appealed for the driver of a BMW car to come forward.
Newburgh resident Ricky Brown (18) died in hospital after the car he was a passenger in repeatedly turned over at junction 10 shortly after midnight last Thursday/Friday.
The driver of the vehicle, a Ford Focus, sustained only minor injuries and was released from Dundee’s Ninewells Hospital after treatment.
Officers from the Road Policing Unit based at Perth have been carrying out further enquiries including examining CCTV footage.
Investigators are keen to speak to anyone who may have seen the distinctive grey Ford Focus ST170 car or a light silver/metallic blue Citroen Saxo on either Shore Road, Friarton Road, Edinburgh Road or the M90 at
Craigend between 11.50pm on March 17 and 00.10am last Friday.
The unit’s Sgt Alan Pettigrew declared: “It is imperative that we trace every potential witness to this tragic incident.
“We know that the grey Ford Focus followed this route and that a silver blue Citroen Saxo was also in the area.
“Whilst we have traced the driver of the Saxo, I would appeal for the driver of a black-coloured BMW 3 series coupe which we know travelled northwards in Friarton road about that time to contact us as a matter of urgency.
“The driver or occupants of this vehicle may have vital information.”
Anyone with information should call police on 0300 111 2222.
