A woman has been charged more than 10 months after a fatal crash on the A96 which killed RAF corporal David Thorne.
The collision occurred around 11.20am on March 5, last year on the A96 Elgin to Aberdeen road near its junction with the A920 Deveron road at Huntly.
A car and motorcycle were involved in the incident that resulted in the death of motorcyclist, David Thorne.
Mr Thorne was a serving corporal with the RAF stationed at Lossiemouth at the time of the tragedy.
Known as David to his family, ‘Dave’ to his colleagues, and ‘Our Dai’ to his friends back in Wales, he was married with three children and two grandchildren.
