Aberdeen: So, there’s been a pretty serious situation that unfolded last year. A teenager has been charged after a tragic incident where a pensioner lost his life. It all happened on Seafield Road back in March 2024.
The poor guy, Thomas Pates, was just out for a walk when a Volkswagen Golf hit him. He was 68 and ended up in critical condition at the hospital. Sadly, he passed away a few weeks later.
The driver, who’s only 19, has now been arrested and charged with some road traffic offences. He’ll be appearing in court soon. It’s a tough situation for everyone involved, and it really makes you think about road safety.
Police were on the scene right away, and they closed the road to investigate what happened. It’s just a reminder of how quickly things can change on the road.
