A probe into police involvement in a horror accident that left an Aberdeen teenager fighting for his life will not be made public.
Flynn Scott, 18, was left in a critical condition after being struck by a Mercedes van near the A944 Kingswells, Westhill and Alford junction of the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route (AWPR) on May 29.
The young football player was left fighting for his life after the ordeal. Thankfully, Flynn began to show signs of recovery towards the end of June.
An investigation was ordered by the Police Investigations and Review Commissioner (PIRC) after it emerged the youngster was believed to have spoken to cops moments before the incident.
Claims were made that officers left him close to the AWPR shortly before he was struck by the Mercedes van.
PIRC previously confirmed a probe was launched looking into the “police interaction” with the teenager prior to him being hit by the vehicle. However it was revealed today the watchdog will not be making the findings of the report public.
A spokesman said: "I can confirm that we will not be publishing this report.
"PIRC does not publish all reports arising from a police referral. The decision to publish takes account of many factors including the possibility of the identification of persons involved, the sensitivity and nature of the inquiry and any views expressed by the nearest relatives."
The 18-year-old is a keen footballer and captains Westdyke Community Football Club Under 18s.
Flynn had just finished sixth year at Cults Academy and has been accepted to study International Football Management at the University Campus of Football Business’s Etihad Campus in Manchester.
Chelsea fan Flynn also received a letter from the club’s captain, Cesar Azpilicueta, after a fundraising page was set up by his relatives while he was in Aberdeen Royal Infirmary.
