Pedestrian airlifted to hospital after two-car horror smash on Ayrshire road

A pedestrian has been airlifted to hospital following a two-car horror smash in Ayrshire this morning.

The 48-year-old was flown to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital to be treated following the smash on the A71 just before 9am.

The collision, between Hurlford and Galston, involved a pick-up truck, a Toyota car and a pedestrian.

A 69-year-old driver was also taken to Crosshouse Hospital.

The extent of the injuries sustained by both men and their condition has not been disclosed.
