Police are appealing for witnesses or information following the single-vehicle crash and urge anyone who may have dash-cam footage to come forward.
Sergeant Kenny Malaney, Road Policing Unit, said: “A number of other motorists who saw the crash stopped and tried to help the man until emergency services arrived but unfortunately he did not survive the crash.
“Although we have spoken to those who assisted at the time, we are still keen to hear from anyone who may have been on the M8 westbound that morning between 1.40am and 1.50am who may have seen the car driving on the road prior to the crash or the collision itself and who has not yet come forward. Dash-cam video would also be helpful as it may have captured footage that could help our investigation.”
Any information can be passed to officers via 101, quoting reference number 0217 of Monday, May 22.
