FATAL HGV CRASH UPDATE: 'Driving fell well below standard expected of any driver let alone a professional'
Police Scotland has acknowledged the sentencing of Gary Tierney following a fatal road crash on the A939 Dava Moor road near Grantown.
Eighty-six-year-old Matthew Donnell died at the scene following the crash on Wednesday, 7 October, 2020.
Tierney was given a sentence of four years imprisonment at the High Court in Edinburgh earlier today.
Sergeant David Miller, from the Highland and Islands Road Policing Unit, was senior investigating officer for the incident.
He said: “We welcome the sentence handed down to Gary Tierney, whose driving on that day fell far below the standard expected of any driver, let alone a professional HGV driver.
“His actions highlight the devastating consequences of dangerous driving and the lasting impact it has on those involved, along with their families and friends.”
