A MAN has died in hospital a fortnight after being injured in a three-vehicle crash.
The 74-year-old man was taken to hospital following the crash on Monday, September 23.
Police Scotland said he died in hospital on Monday.
The crash happened at about 9.40am on the A7 near Boleside in the Borders.
The man who died was in a silver Vauxhall Insignia, along with a 72-year-old woman.
The vehicle was involved in a collision with a white Range Rover Evoque and a yellow Iveco Daily van.
The 41-year-old woman driving the Range Rover was also taken to hospital, as was the 72-year-old woman and both have since been released.
Police said the road was closed for more than three hours for a crash investigation.
Sergeant Jamie Humpage said: “Our thoughts remain 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 think you can help.
“I would also appeal for anyone who was driving in the area and who may have dashcam footage that could assist to contact us.”
Anyone with any information is asked to call Police Scotland on 101 quoting reference 0749 of September 23.
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!
