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.
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!
