A man killed in a crash involving a lorry and a motorbike near Moffat has been named by police.

Iain Macrory, 61, was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident on the B7076, close to the junction for Newton Wamphray, at about 16:25 on 19 March.

He was riding his silver Honda VFR motorbike when it was involved in a collision with a white Volvo lorry.

Sgt Lloyd Caven said his thoughts were with Mr Macrory's friends and family and asked anyone with information to come forward.

The crash was one of two in which bikers were killed on south of Scotland roads on the same day.

A 70-year-old man, who has not been named, died when his red and cream Moto Guzzi was involved in a collision with a car and a lorry on the A68 at Earlston, in the Borders.

The accident happened just a few hours before the fatal Dumfries and Galloway crash.
