Tragic Scots man dies after being knocked down by lorry while crossing road

A man has died after being hit by a lorry while crossing a Coatbridge road.

Stephen Brown, from Viewpark, spent two days in hospital fighting for his life after being knocked down on Tuesday.

Mercy crews rushed the 39-year-old to Glasgow Royal Infirmary where he remained in critical condition before sadly dying yesterday.

The horror incident happened at around 11.40am on Kirkshaws Road, at its junction with North Road.

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

Now police are re-appealing for information and are urging anyone with dashcam footage to come forward.

Sergeant Craig McDonald, Road Policing Unit, Motherwell, is again appealing for any witnesses. He said:

“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 traveling east on Kirkshaws Road when the crash happened, so 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 2 March 2021."
