Family seek answers over boy’s lorry crash death

Last year the family passed new information to police, who are currently examining the details.

Officers have already carried out a site visit and staged a reconstruction at the scene of the collision.

In October last year The Courier newspaper reported, external that a new eyewitness had spoken to police.

Mr Leech said he was “absolutely appreciative” that Police Scotland had issued a fresh appeal, but that he still had many unanswered questions.

He said he wanted to know why his brother’s death had not been investigated at the time.

“There was minimal paperwork and no criminal proceedings,” he said.

“Why was the vehicle allowed to leave the scene? Why wasn’t it impounded?

“And more importantly, why wasn’t the driver charged? I think these are important questions.

“Historically, I don’t believe it was treated well at all, to the point where the bare minimum was done.”
