Family of teenager killed in crash to sue acquitted driver
The family of Kyle Marshall, a teenager killed in a 2024 car crash near Stirling, is launching a civil lawsuit against the driver who was previously acquitted of criminal charges. Charles Gray, who was 17 at the time of the accident, was cleared of causing death by careless driving after a trial in November. The Marshall family is seeking a six-figure sum for negligence, alleging that the driver failed to exercise proper care on a slippery stretch of road.
