Bus driver who died after alleged assault in Scotland went to school in Morecambe

The BBC reported that Keith Rollinson, 58, died at Dr Gray's Hospital in Elgin following the incident at a bus station in the St Giles Road area at about 10.40pm on Friday.

A 15-year-old boy has been arrested and charged in connection with the incident.

He is due to appear at Elgin Sheriff Court today, (Monday).

Keith is believed to be a former pupil at Morecambe High School (now called Morecambe Bay Academy).

Keith’s family have asked for their privacy to be respected.

A driver with Stagecoach has set up a fundraiser to raise £10,000 for Keith and his family.

Kirsty Robson said on her gofundme page: “Keith has only been with us for a little under two years but boy did he make an impression on us all.

“He was a private, gentle caring man with a wicked sense of humour.

“We are all truly shocked and saddened that this could happen.

“The funds will be donated directly to his family to help with anything that they may need.”
