In a tribute to Kyle, his family spoke of their heartbreak after the teenager's death. A statement shared via Police Scotland said: "Kyle leaves behind his devastated mum Jenny and dad Gary, younger brother Hayden and sister Alix, his grans Janet, Eileen and Joyce, and girlfriend Lucy.

"He will be greatly missed by them and all his extended family, as well as his many friends and work colleagues. The family wish to thank everyone for their kind messages of condolence, and also want to thank all the emergency service staff involved in the aftermath of this dreadful accident."

The HGV driver, a 29-year-old man, was not injured in the incident. He was arrested in connection with one road traffic offence. He has since been released pending further inquiries.
