Tragedy Strikes: Family Sues Driver After Friends' Deaths
4 Oct
Summary
- Family launches civil case two years after fatal crash.
- Driver was acquitted of causing death by careless driving.
- Civil action seeks answers, support, and recognition for victims.
Two years after a tragic car crash near Stirling claimed the lives of two teenagers, the family of Kyle Marshall has launched a civil case. Kyle, aged 19, and 17-year-old Jayden McConnell, died when the car driven by Charles Gray lost control and collided with a lorry on the A91. The incident occurred in March 2024, approximately two years before the current date.
Charles Gray, who had obtained his driving license just a month prior to the accident, was found not guilty of causing death by careless driving. This acquittal followed a five-day trial at Stirling Sheriff Court in November 2024. Despite the criminal court's verdict, Kyle Marshall's family is now pursuing a civil action against Gray.
Represented by Digby Brown, the Marshall family is suing for a significant sum, alleging negligence on the part of the driver. A spokesperson for the law firm confirmed that a civil action has been filed in the Court of Session. The purpose of this legal pursuit is to obtain answers, support, and recognition for the devastating loss experienced by Kyle's loved ones.
