A man has died after being struck by a car in Montrose on Sunday night.

The 22-year-old was walking in Coronation Avenue around 8.15pm when he was involved in a collision with a car.

The man has been named locally as Scott Blake.

Emergency services including a trauma team rushed to the scene but, tragically, he was pronounced dead.

The town was particularly busy on Sunday as The Beach Boys were playing the grand finale of the Montrose Music Festival.

MoFest organisers have paid their own tribute, saying: “We are beyond saddened by last night’s accident and our hearts go out to Scott’s family.”

A police spokeswoman said: “Police Scotland attended at Coronation Avenue, Montrose at 8.15pm yesterday, following a road traffic collision involving a car and a pedestrian.

“The 22-year-old male tragically died.”

One resident in the vicinity of the accident had been at the MoFest finale and encountered the major police investigation as they returned home.

“The road was completely closed but we were dropped off by our taxi and we were then allowed by the police to walk to our home,” they said.

“We heard that it happened at about 8pm and police were still here at 11pm when we came back from the Beach Boys concert.

“The police were up asking us if we had any CCTV.”

Police Scotland have now appealed for members of the public who witnessed the incident to contact them.
