A man killed on the construction site of the new bridge over the River Don in Aberdeen, has been named.
Police confirmed that the man who died was Ian Walker (58) from the Dundee area.
Police were informed of an incident at a construction site in the Danestone area of Aberdeen at 4.45pm yesterday (Wednesday 13 January 2016) where it had been reported that a man was injured.
Sadly Mr Walker was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police Scotland initially said they responded to reports that a site worker had been injured.
A spokesman later confirmed that the man, from Dundee: “was pronounced dead at the scene.”
An Aberdeen City Council spokeswoman said: “We offer our deepest condolences to the family.
“We are working with the police and HSE to establish what happened and so cannot comment any further.”
The so-called third Don crossing will link the Bridge of Don and Tillydrone.
It was given the go-ahead last year after the council’s ruling Labour party – which had long been against the bridge – lost a vote.
