Police investigation

Police Scotland said on Tuesday that officers investigating the crash would complete a formal private report by the end of the month.

Justice Secretary Michael Matheson said he expected the Crown Office to outline a timescale for any further investigation by the end of February.

It is for the Lord Advocate, Frank Mulholland, to decide if a Fatal Accident Inquiry (FAI) will be held.
