Daniel Wall died in the crash

Relatives have paid tribute to a "kind, courageous and loving man" who was killed in a crash in Aberdeenshire.

Daniel Wall, 43, died after his car was involved in a collision with a lorry on the A90 near Crimond on Saturday.

Mr Wall, from the St Fergus area, was described by his family as a "much-loved special man who touched the hearts of many people".

The driver of the lorry, a 41-year-old man, was arrested in connection with the incident.

The collision, at about 09:55 on Saturday morning, involved Mr Wall's blue Nissan Qashqai car and a white lorry.

The passenger in the car, a 46-year-old woman, was released from hospital with no serious injuries.

'Zest for life'

"We are all absolutely devastated by Daniel's passing," relatives said in a statement.

"Daniel had a real zest for life despite his illness and over the years raised significant funds for the MS Society, completing two parachute jumps.

"He was a kind, courageous and loving man with a great sense of humour who will be so sorely missed but remembered with a smile. Our sincere thanks for the messages of support received from all those who knew him or our family."
