A pedestrian had died after he was struck by an HGV in Aberdeen.

Police were called to reports of a collision at about 10:10 on Friday.

A 58-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene. His family have been notified.

Sgt Chris Bain from the North East Road Policing Department said inquiries into the incident were ongoing.

He said: "I'm appealing to anyone who witnessed the collision or who may have dashcam footage to contact police as it may assist in our inquiries."

The Scottish Ambulance Service said a special operations response team, a paramedic response unit and an ambulance were sent to the scene.

Police Scotland said several roads in the area were closed as a result, including at the Wellington Road roundabout, Victoria Bridge, and South Esplanade East. They have since been reopened.
