Tragic biker who died in horror smash near Scots ski centre is named

A biker who died in a horrific crash on a Scots road has been named.

George Taylor, 47, from Ellon, Aberdeenshire, died when his black KTM motorcycle was involved in a collision with a Burgundy Mazda MX-5 on the A939 Cock Bridge to Tomintoul road, which is approximately half a mile south of Lecht last Saturday.

The 29-year-old man who was driving the Mazda MX 5 sustained minor injuries and was later taken to Dr Gray’s Hospital, Elgin for treatment.

Cops are continuing their probe into the incident and have urged any witnesses to come forward.

Sergeant Scott Deans of the Road Policing Unit said: "Our thoughts remain with the family as enquiries into the circumstances of the collision continue.

"I would urge anyone who witnessed the incident, or anyone with relevant dash cam footage who has not yet contacted officers, to please call us via 101, quoting reference number 2026 of the 18th July."
