Man who died in A90 crash named by police as 62-year-old John Grover

A man killed in a collision involving a Transit van has been named.

Emergency services were called to the A90 Aberdeen to Peterhead road, near Foveran, last Thursday following the crash.

John Grover, 62, from New Pitsligo, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police were called to the incident at 3.20pm, and the stretch of road was closed from the junction with the A92 towards Balmedie.

It was reopened almost eight hours later, at 11pm.

An investigation into the crash continues, with officers calling for those who may have around the scene at the time to come forward.

Sergeant Chris Smith of the North East Road Policing Unit said: “The thoughts of everyone at Police Scotland are with John’s family and friends at this most difficult of times.

“Inquiries are still ongoing to establish the full circumstances of the collision and we are keen to speak to anyone who was driving at, or near, the location who has not already been spoken to by an officer.

“Anyone who can help our enquiries can call 101, quoting reference 2010 of 16 December.”
