A PEDESTRIAN who died in a fatal crash in Grangemouth on Monday has been named as 24-year-old Sean McGinley by police.

McGinley died after being struck by a Ford Fiesta on Newlands Road at around 11.15pm on Monday.

Emergency services attended, but the 24-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police said his next of kin are aware.

The 35-year-old male driver of the car was taken to hospital as a precaution and arrested in connection with the incident.

It is understood that he has been released pending further investigation.

Police in Forth Valley are now appealing for witnesses to come forward who may have stopped at the scene prior to police arrival.

Officers believe a dark-coloured vehicle stopped initially at the scene immediately after the crash happened.

The occupants of this vehicle, a man and woman, got out and one of them spoke with the driver of the Ford Fiesta.

“We know there were a number of witnesses who assisted at the scene prior to emergency services attending,” Sergeant Michael Shillington said.

“Specifically, we’re keen to hear from two people who we believed stopped behind the Fiesta following the crash and spoke with the driver. They are potential witnesses and we are eager to hear from them.”

He added: “Equally, anyone who has relevant dashcam or video footage is asked to provide this at their earliest opportunity.”

Anyone with any information is asked to contact 101 quoting reference 3764 of August 17 2026.
