First picture of 'loving daddy' killed in horror crash as Scots family left heartbroken

This is the first picture of a 'loving' Scots dad who was killed in a horror Fife car crash.

Roddy McAllister, from Campbeltown, was pronounced dead at the scene of the smash at around 6.35pm on the A83 on Saturday December 11.

The crash, which took place half a mile north of Tarbert, involved a black Seat Leon.

A 30-year-old woman was also taken by air ambulance to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow with serious injuries. She is currently in a stable condition.

A five-year-old girl was also taken to hospital and released after treatment.

The family of Roddy, 33, have been left devastated by their loss saying 'every day will never be the same' without him.

Paying tribute, they said: “Our funny, caring, hardworking, loving daddy and husband, Roddy McAllister, 33, gone far too soon.

“Summer beach trips, barbecues, camping trips, garden days, holidays, film days, Christmas days, festive days, every day in general will never be the same without you.

“We miss you so much already. Lots of love, from your loving family, wife and children.”

Sergeant Nicola Taylor, of Police Scotland’s Dumbarton Road Policing Unit, said: “Our thoughts remain with the family and friends of Mr McAllister at this difficult time.

“Police Scotland and Mr McAllister’s family would also like to thank the members of the public who stopped to help at the scene of the crash.

“Our enquiries into the circumstances of the crash remain ongoing and anyone with any information is asked to contact police on 101 quoting incident number 2891 of Saturday, 11 December, 2021.”
