One dead and four rushed to hospital after car strikes workers on major Scots road

A man has died and four others have been rushed to hospital after a BMW struck workers on a busy Scots road.

Emergency services were scrambled to the A82 at Dumbarton around 8pm on Monday, May 9.

A grey BMW 3 series struck five men who were working on the grass verge just west of Lomondgate roundabout in Dumbarton.

A 59-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene.

A 37-year-old man was rushed to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow where hospital staff have described his condition as serious.

Three men - aged 38, 43 and 46 - were taken to the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley but were released after treatment.

The 43-year-old male driver of the BMW and his 35-year-old passenger were uninjured.

Sergeant Hugh Niccolls from the Road Policing Unit at Dumbarton said: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the man who died and his colleagues who were injured.

“Our enquiries into this crash are continuing and I would appeal to anyone who witnessed this crash, or who was driving on this road and has dash-cam footage to contact us. I would also like to hear from anyone who saw the BMW 3 series car driving on this road before the crash took place.

“Anyone with information should contact police through 101 with reference number 3304 of 9 May.”
