A man has been arrested in connection with the alleged hit and run death of tragic Glasgow teen Aidan Pilkington.
The 18-year-old was killed after being knocked down on Crow Road at around 12.20am on Saturday, September 11.
Dozens of heartfelt tributes have poured in for the popular McDonald’s worker, who was due to move to Dundee for university next weekend.
His heartbroken family have released a statement through Police Scotland and said he was looking forward to the ‘bright future’ he had created for himself.
They said: “Aidan was treasured by his family, and well loved and respected by his friends and community.
"Aidan left Hyndland Secondary School in the summer, and was going to be moving to Dundee next Saturday to attend Dundee University.
"He created a bright future for himself and was really looking forward to these opportunities and challenges. It is very cruel that he has been robbed of his life in this way.
"The family would like to thank friends, in particular Aidan’s friends, and the wider community, for their love, support, and kindness."
Police Scotland announced on Sunday night that they had arrested a 19-year-old in connection with Aidan’s death and a suspect vehicle traced.
He has since been released pending further enquiries.
Sergeant Scott Sutherland from Road Policing said: “The car involved has now been traced, and a 19-year-old man has been arrested in connection with this incident.
“He’s been released pending further investigation.
“We would like to thank everyone who has got in touch with us so far regarding the appeal, and urge anyone who has information, but has yet to contact us, to call 101 quoting incident reference number 0120 of 11 Sept 21."
