Man, 82, dies following two-vehicle crash in South Ayrshire

AN elderly man has died three days after a two-car crash on the A77 in South Ayrshire.

A crash involving a silver Mercedes A200 and a red Renault Captur occurred about half a mile south of the Dutch House Roundabout, Monkton, at 2.25pm on October 3.

Emergency services attended and the 82-year-old male driver and an 84-year-old woman were taken to hospital for treatment.

On Monday, Police Scotland said the 82-year-old man had died on Sunday.

They said the woman remains in hospital in serious condition.

The road was closed while inquiries were carried out, reopening at about 8.30pm the same day as the crash.

Police are appealing for information about the crash.

Sergeant Martin Cunningham, of Irvine road policing, said: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the man who died at this very difficult time.

“Inquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances and we are appealing to anyone who has not already spoken to officers to get in touch if you can assist.

“If you were driving in the area and have dash-cam footage that could help with our investigation then please contact us.”

Anyone with information should contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 2036 of October 3.
