A man has died after being struck by a car on the A90 in Aberdeenshire.

The fatal collision, involving a white Volkswagen Golf, happened near Boddam at around 12.05am on Saturday.

Emergency services attended, however the 31-year-old pedestrian was pronounced dead at the scene. His next of kin have been informed.

A stretch of the A90 was closed in both directions for around ten hours for investigation works.

Road policing sergeant Craig McNeill said: “Our thoughts are very much with the man’s family at this incredibly difficult time.

“Enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances of the collision.

“I would urge anyone who may have witnessed the crash but has not yet spoken to police to come forward.

“I am particularly keen to speak to anyone who was on the A90 between Peterhead and Longhaven with a dashcam that saw the white VW Golf or male pedestrian prior to the crash as they could help with our investigation.”
