A MAN has died after he was hit by a car on the A90 near Peterhead in the early hours of yesterday.
Emergency crews raced to the road at around 12.05am after they were alerted to the collision.
But despite the best efforts of medics, a 31-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene.
Officers shut down the road for 10 hours as they launched a probe into the tragedy.
Road Policing Sergeant Craig McNeill said: "Our thoughts are very much with the man's family at this incredibly difficult time.
"Enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances of the collision. I would urge anyone who may have witnessed the crash but has not yet spoken to police to come forward.
“I am particularly keen to speak to anyone who was on the A90 between Peterhead and Longhaven with a dash-cam that saw the white VW Golf or male pedestrian prior to the crash as they could help with our investigation."
