An elderly man was killed in an Alloa crash involving three vehicles.
Police are continuing to appeal for information about the Clackmannan Road incident, which took place at around 10.35am on Thursday, November 6.
An 81-year-old man, John McClumpha, was taken to Forth Valley Hospital, where he later died.
Posting on social media, Maggie Cruise said: "I Just wanted to take a minute to thank those who rushed to help at the scene of the road accident on the Clackmannan Road on Thursday morning and to apologise on behalf of my dad and our family for the inconvenience caused that day.
"My dad suffered a catastrophic brain haemorrhage at the wheel of the car, lost control of it, and veered across the road hitting other vehicles. He passed away a few hours later.
"For what it's worth, he had an exemplary driving record. Never any points, not one accident and over 60 years no claims bonus, he was proud of that. He could reverse a 40ft trailed through the eye of a needle and safety was always a priority.
"If he had felt unwell that morning, he wouldn't have went out. If he had felt a heart attack coming on, he would have pulled over. Of that we have no doubt.
"But a brain haemorrhage doesn't give any warning signals. I know if he was here, he would want to say how deeply sorry he is to the other motorists, so I'll say it on his behalf."
The collision involved a grey Audi Q5, a grey Peugeot van and a blue Audi Q3. The road was closed to allow for investigations to be carried out and re-opened around 2.50pm.
Sergeant Vincent Lynch said: “Our thoughts are with John’s family and friends at this extremely difficult time.
“We would ask anyone who has yet to speak to officers get in touch and review any dash-cam footage for anything that may assist with our enquiries.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 1138 of November 6 2025.
