His relatives have spoken of the 53-year-old’s cheerfulness and kindness in a tribute issued via Police Scotland.
They said: “Marek was an honest and content person. He was cheerful and well-known in the Turriff and Banff areas – as soon as he walked into Banff Tesco all the workers would shout ‘Czesc’ (‘hello’ in Polish) in his way.
“He also loved to swim and was a regular visitor at Banff swimming pool, where he was known by everyone.
“Marek will be missed by everyone for his genuine smile, warm words and kindness.”

No-one else was injured in the crash.
