A man has died after being hit by a bus in Angus.

The 63-year-old died at the scene of the crash on the A90 near Brechin at about 21:05 on Monday.

Police said the driver of the single-decker bus and three passengers were not hurt.

Insp Greg Burns said inquiries into the crash were ongoing. "The road was closed for a considerable time to allow crash investigations to be carried out but has now re-opened," he added.

"I would appeal to anyone who was driving on the road shortly before the crash to come forward. I would ask anyone with dash-cam footage to also contact us."
