John Wilson first called the police when his father saw John Yuill and Lamara Bell's car down an embankment when they were out driving. He called several more times before anything was done.
A farmer still feels angry about the delayed response from police after he reported a crash off the M9 which led to the deaths of two people, an inquiry has heard.
Mr Wilson told Falkirk Sheriff Court he was driving on Pirnhall Road in Stirling at around 10am that day with his father in the passenger seat. He told the inquiry that his father, who was not named in court, saw the couple’s blue Renault Clio down an embankment. Mr Wilson gave Sgt Henry the details and said the officer told him he would look on the police system, and “get it checked out” if the incident had not already been reported.
He replied that he would have expected police to check it out and that he was “doing his duty” as a member of the public by reporting it. He said he drove past the crash site again on the morning of Tuesday July 7 and noted there was still no change. “An air ambulance was pulling out a stretcher. I thought: ‘This is not a recovery job, it’s a rescue job’.
