The 18-year-old has been charged following a car crash in Bannockburn in which two teenagers died.

A black Vauxhall Corsa crashed with a HGV on the A91, between the Bannockburn Interchange and Greencornhills Roundabout on March 17.

Rear seat passengers Kyle Marshall, 19, and Jayden McConnell, 17, were killed in the smash – while the driver was airlifted to hospital with serious injuries.

“A report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.”

Following the tragic crash, a GoFundMe page was launched as a means of supporting both boys’ families as they come to terms with their loss – with the page raising more than £20,000 from well-wishers.

“This is literally every parent’s worst nightmare especially at such a young age with their full lives ahead of them both.

“However much is raised will be split equally between Kyle’s family and Jayden’s family. Both boys’ mums are very grateful for all the love and support they have been shown since losing their boys and want everyone to know they will be forever thankful.”
