Passers-by tried to help before paramedics arrived

David Provan, who worked for Mitchel Inglis, a vehicle repair shop in Scotstoun, travelled to Dunoon to collect a customer’s car on the morning of December 9, 2020.

Details of the collision were examined during a recent Fatal Accident Inquiry, which had to be held due to Mr Provan passing away during the course of his employment. Two straps were attached to the tractor and a pillar on Mr Provan’s lorry, allowing the tractor driver to pull the cab and remove it from Mr Provan.A paramedic who attended the scene also observed Mr Provan to be unresponsive, with a severe head injury and dilated pupils.CPR was unable to be performed due to “lack of access” and Mr Provan was pronounced dead at 9.34am. He was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.

Both lorries were examined and found to have no obvious defects which could have contributed to the collision.
