Man confesses to causing death by motorcycle accident in Annan

One man admitted to causing the death last year of a motorcyclist in Annan by driving his vehicle without taking proper care.

Steven Armstrong, 52 years old, of Lockerbie, was killed at the scene after an accident on the B6357, on September 4, 2021.

The court heard that Joseph McGregor, 32-year-old from Annan, had just obtained his driving license nine days prior to the crash.

Sentence was delayed until 3 August to allow for reports. He was bailed and disqualified.

Dumfries Sheriff Court heard McGregor drove directly into the path of the approaching motorcycle without properly observing it.
