Josh Hutcheson, 34 from Oldmeldrum died after being hit by a car in Aberdeen

A father-of-two who died after being hit by a car in Aberdeen has been described by his family as their "hero".

Josh Hutcheson, 34, from Oldmeldrum, was hit by a Citroen C1 on Dyce Drive on 15 May. He died at the scene.

His sisters, Denise, Karis and Eileigh paid tribute to a "fiercely loyal and protective" brother who was "loved deeply by so many".

Police Scotland said its investigation into the crash is ongoing and asked anyone with information to get in touch.

In a statement, Mr Hutcheson's family said they would "never fully heal from a loss so significant".

They said: "John was a loving son of Shelley and Eddie, a brother to Denise, Karis and Eileigh, a father of Leah and JJ and a friend to so many.

"His humour and energy was something that is unmatched, and we will continue to remember this in all of our hearts."
