- Douglas Dickie

want to speak to the driver if this white van Police believe a white van driver may hold the key to who was responsibl­e for the death of an OAP on the A9.

Eighty-year-old Doreen Williams died on Sunday, November 4 when she was struck on the southbound A9 between Inveralmon­d and Broxden.

Investigat­ions into her death, which is being treated as a hit and run, are continuing.

And officers combing CCTV images believe the driver of a van, which bore an Arnold Clark logo, may have informatio­n relavent to the case.

Detective Inspector Ray Birnie, the senior investigat­ing officer for the enquiry, has urged the driver of the van to come forward.

He said: “Significan­t police resources remain deployed on this investigat­ion.

“We know that Doreen was struck by a vehicle having been walking along the A9 road.

“We know that this vehicle did not stop. Doreen died as a result of the injuries she sustained from the impact.

“We believe the driver of the vehicle pictured in the CCTV footage can assist with our investigat­ion and anyone who recognises it is asked to come forward.

“This vehicle is a white Ford Transit Custom van. It was marked with the logos and lettering for Arnold Clark Car and Van Rental. It had a sliding rear door on the nearside.

“We also know that this vehicle travelled south on the A9 between the roundabout at Inveralmon­d and the roundabout at Broxden about 2.15am on Sunday, November 4, having travelled south on the A9 from the Dunkeld direction. Whilst we are following other lines of enquiry in order to find this vehicle, I would urge the driver, or anyone else with informatio­n, to come forward to us now.

“If anyone has witnessed this incident or has any informatio­n to pass, then please call Police Scotland on 101 quoting reference number 672 of November 4 or speak to a police officer. To stay anonymous, call Crimestopp­ers on 0800 555 111.”
