No further investigations will take place into the death of a north-east youngster who was hit by a van on the region’s busiest trunk road.
Popular Newtonhill kickboxer, Bobby Douglas, 11, died after he was hit by the black Ford Transit as he was crossing the southbound lane of the A90 Aberdeen to Dundee road near his home.
The youngster had just moved to the town from the Kincorth area of Aberdeen.
Following the accident on the evening of November 21, he was taken to the Royal Aberdeen Children’s Hospital where he died from his injuries.
Police closed the A90 southbound for five hours as they carried out investigations.
Now a spokesman for the Crown Office has confirmed no further action will be taken following the incident.
He said: “The Procurator Fiscal has received a report in connection with the death of an 11-year-old boy on the A90 at Newtonhill on 21 November 2014.
“After careful consideration of the facts and circumstances of the case, the Procurator Fiscal concluded that no further investigation is required.
“The family have been informed of this decision.”
Bobby is survived by older brother Danny, younger sister Demi and parents Mark Douglas and Tracy Livingstone.
The family did not want to comment on the Crown Office decision last night.
In a statement released following the tragedy, Mr Douglas and Mr Livingstone described the former Abbotswell Primary School pupil as “an amazing boy”, adding that it would take a “very long time to come to terms with our loss”.
The youngster – whose funeral was held on December 5 at Aberdeen Crematorium – was a devout Aberdeen FC fan and regular face at the city’s Aberdeen Combat Centre gym, where he practiced Muay Thai.
Dons players and fans paid tribute to him with a one-minute applause during a game against the Hamilton Accies attended by his family on December 7.
Floral tributes were placed outside the South College Street gym and near the scene of the accident following his death.
