A man who was banned from driving is jailed after a crash in which a stolen Maserati struck and killed a 74-year-old pensioner in Broughty Ferry, near Dundee. Reports say the victim, John Bell, was working in a neighbour’s garden when he was fatally injured.
The driver, Fraser Garden, 55, is described across outlets as having stolen the car and then driving at high speed. BBC News reports he was travelling at close to three times the speed limit, while other coverage cites speeds up to 85mph. Several accounts describe the crash occurring after the vehicle lost control and went into the garden area, with some describing the car hitting the victim against a wall following impact.
Outlets focus on different details, including the circumstances of the vehicle’s theft and the victim’s position in the garden, but they largely agree on the key timeline: Garden’s offence involved a stolen Maserati, the collision on 13 April, John Bell’s death, and Garden’s subsequent sentencing to prison.
