A man has died and two more people were injured in a horror crash in Ayrshire at the weekend.
The 59-year-old rider of the Harley Davidson Fatcat motorcycle was pronounced dead at the scene of the smash on the A719 between Crossroads and Galston at around 2.40pm on Saturday.
The collision involved a car and two motorbikes with the major route closed for almost 8 hours to allow crash investigators to comb the scene.
A 69-year-old man, the rider of the Ducati Diavel motorcycle, and a 28-year-old woman, the driver of the Vauxhall Insignia car, were taken to hospital and released following treatment.
Road Policing Sergeant Chris Hoggans said that officers are trying to trace the driver of a white vehicle who may have witnessed the incident.
Sgt Hoggans added: “My thoughts are with the family and friends of the man who died following this incident.
“We know from enquiries so far that the road was busy at the time and a lot of people will have witnessed the crash. I’m particularly keen to trace the driver of a white vehicle, possibly a Honda Civic, who may have seen what happened.
“I would urge anyone with information or who saw the vehicles prior to the crash to get in touch with us. Similarly, anyone with dash cam footage of the A719 near Crossroads from around 2.40pm on Saturday, please come forward.”
Anyone with information should contact police on 101 quoting reference 2472 of June 17, 2023.
