A man who died after being struck by a lorry near a golf course in Moray has been named.
David Anderson, from the Banff/Macdugg area, had been walking along Birnie Road in Elgin at 10am on Tuesday, 26 April when he was hit by the HGV.
Emergency services raced to the crash site but the 42-year-old was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.
