Police are appealing for witnesses following a fatal road crash on the B954 between Auchterhouse and Newtyle, on Friday, 22 March 2024.

Around 2.10pm, police were called after a blue BMW motor car collided with a tree on the B954 near Auchterhouse. Paramedics attended but the 39-year-old driver, who was the only occupant of the car, died at the scene.

Sergeant Willie Strachan, Tayside Roads Policing Unit, said: “This is a busy road, a direct route between Dundee and Newtyle. A number of people stopped to assist at the scene, and we have managed to speak to them but are keen to hear from anyone who has not yet been contacted by police or who may have, for example, dashcam footage from the road showing the type of vehicle involved, that may assist our investigation.”
