A 12-year-old boy is suing the driver of a vehicle involved in a road traffic accident that killed his father, reports the Daily Record.

The boy's father, Andrew Young, died when his motorbike was involved in a crash with Frank Ralph's vehicle near Portsoy, in the north of Scotland. Mr Ralph had originally faced charges of careless driving, but was cleared of these at the sheriff court.

Mr Young's son is claiming £200,000 in damages for the loss of his father. Mr Young's mother has also raised a civil action.

The case will be heard in the Court of Session next year.
