An 89-year-old man has died in hospital one week after he was involved in a crash in North Ayrshire.
The man was driving a red Kia Venga on the B780 near Dalry on January 17 when he was in a crash with a white Vauxhall Insignia at about 3.40pm.
The crash happened near the road’s junction with the B784.
The elderly man was taken to the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley, where he died on Sunday.
Police Scotland said his family have been made aware and a report has been submitted to the procurator fiscal.
Police have appealed for witnesses to the crash to come forward.
Sergeant Chris Hoggans, of the Ayrshire road policing team, said: “Our thoughts are very much with the man’s family at this difficult time for them.
“We are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash and would ask anyone who has not yet come forward with information to get in touch.
“From our inquiries so far, we are aware that some people stopped to assist and may have witnessed the crash so I am asking them to come forward.
“We are also keen to hear from anyone who may have dash-cam footage from around the time of the crash.
“Anyone with information is asked to please contact us on 101 quoting incident 1970 of Monday, 17 January.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
