A man has been arrested and charged after an Oban dad was killed in a crash earlier this week.

Robert Bromell died after the collision, which involved a pedestrian and an ambulance on Corran Esplanade on the A85.

A 20 year old man will appear at Oban Sheriff Court on Monday September 18 in connection with the incident, which took place at around 1.35am on Wednesday.

Mr Bromwell’s family described him as a “loving dad” and a “funny character” in a statement released by Police Scotland.

"Devastating loss"

They said: "Robert Bromell, better known as Hogan to all his family and friends, with his cheeky smile and funny character.

"You would never not see Hogan without a smile on his face and a little joke to tell.

"It is a devastating loss and he will be missed by everyone that knew him. He was a loving dad to his two sons Kaiden and Kai and an amazing brother to Emma, Phil, Dave and Theresa.

"As a family we are devastated and truly heartbroken right now. Life will not be the same without him."
