A man has died following a crash on a Renfrewshire road in the early hours of the morning.
The 30-year-old male was tragically pronounced dead at the scene of the incident which occurred on the M8 between Bishopton and Langbank.
The crash is said to have involved just one vehicle, a red Renault Captur, which smashed into the barriers on the westbound side of the motorway.
A number of people are said to have stopped and tried to assist the dying man.
Police have issued an appeal for witnesses who might have been on the road between 1.40am and 1.50am on Monday, May 22.
Sergeant Kenny Malaney of the road policing unit said: “A number of other motorists who saw the crash stopped and tried to help the man until emergency services arrived but unfortunately he did not survive the crash.
“Although we have spoken to those who assisted at the time, we are still keen to hear from anyone who may have been on the M8 westbound that morning between 1.40am and 1.50am who may have seen the car driving on the road prior to the crash or the collision itself and who has not yet come forward.
"Dash-cam video would also be helpful as it may have captured footage that could help our investigation.”
Any information can be passed to officers via 101, quoting reference number 0217 of Monday, May 22 2023. A report will be sent to the procurator fiscal.
