Man charged nearly year after death of pensioner cyclist 'hit by lorry' on A85

A man has been charged nearly a year after the death of a pensioner who was cycling on a Scots road.

The horror crash took place at around 5.45pm on Monday August 23, 2021, on the A85 near Crianlarich, Stirling.

The 74-year-old man was cycling westbound on the road when it is thought he collided with a Scania R450 lorry.

Emergency crews raced to the scene but the biker was pronounced dead upon arrival.

At the time, cops closed the road for eight hours while a probe took place.

Now, officers have confirmed a 57-year-old man has been charged in connection with the incident.

A report will be sent to the Procurator Fiscal.
