Robert Bromell died in hospital the day after he was struck by an ambulance

A 20-year-old man has been arrested and charged in connection with the death of a pedestrian who was struck by an ambulance in Oban.

Robert Bromell, 39, was critically injured in the incident on the A85 Corran Esplanade at about 01:35 on 6 September.

The father-of-two, from Oban, died from his injuries in hospital the next day.

Police Scotland said the suspect is due to appear at Oban Sheriff Court on Monday.

´óÏó´«Ã½ Scotland News understands the 20-year-old was not driving the ambulance.

In a statement his family said Mr Bromell, who was better known as Hogan, would be remembered for his "cheeky smile and funny character".

They added: "You would never not see Hogan without a smile on his face and a little joke to tell.

"It is a devastating loss and he will be missed by everyone that knew him."
