Tributes after Stirling crash death

The family of a man, who died in a crash near Stirling on Christmas Day, say he will be "forever missed".

60-year-old David Buckley died after his motorbike collided with a red Audi A7 near Leckie.

The incident happened at around 2pm on 25th December.

In a statement, his family say David was a "wonderful" father, husband, son and brother.

“Our Darling Dave will be forever missed and never forgotten. He was a wonderful father, husband, son, brother, uncle and friend to everyone who knew him. 

“We are deeply grateful for the outpouring of love and support from family and friends during this difficult time. In these tragic circumstances, we kindly request privacy.”

The driver of the Audi, a 72-year-old man, was taken to Forth Valley Hospital, and treated for minor injuries. 

Sergeant Fraser Easton, from the Road Policing Unit in Stirling said, “Our thoughts remain with family and friends of David at this difficult time, and we will continue to offer them support.

“Our enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances and I would appeal to anyone who has not already spoken to officers to come forward if they have any information that could assist with our investigation.

“We are still looking to trace the driver of a white Dacia Duster, which was seen in the area at the time of the crash as we believe they may have information that could assist officers.

“We are also asking anyone driving in the area at the time to check their dash-cams to see if they have any footage that would help with our enquiries.”
