The crash happened on the A85.

A motorcyclist has been killed in a crash on the A85 between Perthshire and Stirlingshire.

Police were called to the road, between St Fillans and Lochearnhead, on Wednesday night.

A 27-year-old man was driving a black Kawasaki ZXD7F motorbike westbound when it left the road and went down an embankment.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

‘Thoughts with family and friends of deceased’

Sergeant David Marr, of Forth Valley’s road policing unit, said: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the deceased at this time.

“We are conducting extensive inquiries into the circumstances of this incident and are appealing for anyone with information to come forward.

“If you were in the area and witnessed the crash, or have any potential dashcam footage which could assist our investigation, please call police on 101, quoting incident 3199 of 1 September.”

The road was closed in both directions for several hours following the crash, which happened at around 9pm.
