Tributes have been paid to an 'wonderful ' dad-of-three who sadly died after being struck by a lorry near a golf course in Moray last week.
David Anderson, from the Banff/Macdugg area, had been walking along Birnie Road in Elgin at 10am on Tuesday, 26 April when he was hit by the HGV.
Emergency services raced to the crash site but the 42-year-old was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.
He is survived by his wife and three children.
Following the tragedy, David's devastated family have paid tribute, saying "he will be missed a lot.”
Others friends have rallied around the grief-stricken family, with one launching a charity age to help cover funeral costs and other expenses.
The total has now reached an incredible £830 of the intended £1,000 target.
A tribute on the page read: "Dave was a wonderful friend, when suddenly we lost him too soon.
"He left behind wife and three kids. Everyone with broken hearts.
"No one was ready for this.
"Would like to raise funds to help his family with all the funeral costs.
"Because Dave touched everyone's hearts. He was an amazing friend."
Police Scotland say their investigation into the crash has so far found that David is believed to have travelled from the Dr Gray's Hospital area to Birnie Road near Elgin Golf Course on the day he died.
They have also released a description of the victim, and want to hear from anyone who has not yet contacted officers and may have seen David before the crash.
Sergeant Craig McNeill, of Inverurie Road Policing Unit, said: “Our thoughts are with David’s family at this difficult time.
“Our enquiries so far have established that David is believed to have travelled southwards from the Dr Gray’s Hospital area via the Edgar Road area to Birnie Road near Elgin Golf Course.
“David is described as being slim build, average height with a bushy ginger beard and, at the time, was wearing a black and white striped top, grey tracksuit bottoms and black trainers.
“Enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances of the crash and we are appealing for anyone with any information, or who may have seen the him prior to the crash and has not already spoken to officers, to get in touch.
“I would also urge anyone with dash cam footage which captures either David or the vehicle to get in contact, as they may be able to assist our enquiries.”
Anyone with any information, should contact police on 101, quoting incident 0804 of 26 April.
