Man dies after being hit by lorry while crossing Coatbridge road

A 39-YEAR-OLD man has died after being hit by a lorry while crossing a busy Coatbridge road.

Stephen Brown was walking on Kirkshaws Road, at its junction with North Road, when he was struck by the vehicle at around 11.40am last Tuesday, March 2.

Police and ambulance staff attended the scene and Mr Brown, of Viewpark, was taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary for treatment on his injuries, where he sadly passed away from his injuries two days later.

Mr Brown’s relatives are aware of his tragic loss and a report on the incident has been submitted to the procurator fiscal.

The 48-year-old driver of the lorry was uninjured.

Officers at the road policing unit in Motherwell are appealing for witnesses after the serious crash, with Sergeant Craig McDonald saying: “I am keen to get a hold of any dash-cam footage drivers in the area at the time may have.

“From our enquiries so far, we know that there were a number of vehicles travelling east on Kirkshaws Road when the crash happened, so I would ask any of those people, especially those with dash-cameras, to get in touch with police as soon as they can.

“We’d like to thank those who been in you touch so far but if you haven’t, and can assist, then please call officers at the road policing unit at Motherwell via 101, quoting reference number 1025 of March 2.”
