A 55-year-old man is jailed after a stolen Maserati crash in Broughty Ferry in which a 74-year-old man dies. The victim, John Bell, was working in a neighbour’s garden when he is fatally struck by the vehicle driven by Fraser Garden.
Reports describe Garden as having been banned from driving and driving the stolen car at speed through the area before losing control and crashing into the garden where Bell was present. BBC News adds that Garden’s speed is assessed at almost three times the speed limit, and other outlets similarly cite high-speed travel, including figures reported as up to 85mph. After the impact, Bell is said to be pinned against a wall.
Outlets largely align on the key facts: the car is stolen, the driver is banned, the crash occurs in the victim’s garden in Broughty Ferry, and Bell dies from injuries. Differences are mainly in the emphasis—some focus on the sentencing and the banning, while others underline the reported speed at the time of the crash.
