It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of Aaron McPherson's passing at just 17 years old. He lost his life in the hospital after bravely fighting for 16 days following a serious accident while riding an e-bike. Our community in Grangemouth, Falkirk was saddened by the tragic collision that occurred on May 30, when Aaron was hit by a small white hatchback car on Portal Road at around 11:45pm.
The loss of such a young life is devastating, and our thoughts go out to Aaron's family and friends during this difficult time. As the investigation into the crash continues, we are doing everything we can to understand what happened. We are grateful for the support and assistance of the public in providing information and helping us piece together the events leading up to Aaron's death.
The incident has also resulted in the arrest of two individuals, one of whom is 17 years old and appeared in court on Tuesday. The other, an 18-year-old, has been released pending further inquiries. We are working diligently to seek justice for Aaron and his loved ones.
Unfortunately, this is not the first time that Scotland has seen such a tragedy involving an e-bike. In April, two boys aged 16 and 17 lost their lives in a crash with four cars. And just last month, an 86-year-old grandfather was struck and killed by an e-bike in Burnley. These incidents serve as a sobering reminder of the importance of safety precautions while riding any type of vehicle.
We want to assure the public that we are committed to understanding the full circumstances of Aaron's passing and ensuring that measures are taken to prevent such accidents in the future. Once again, we extend our deepest sympathies to Aaron's loved ones and thank the community for their support during this challenging time.
