Barefoot man with walking stick hospitalised after being struck by car

A man with a walking stick and no shoes is in a serious condition in hospital after being hit by a car in Ayrshire.

The incident happened at about 6.20am on Monday on the B780 close to East Mains Farm.

He was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow and the road was closed for nearly six hours.

Police are still trying to identify the man.

Road Policing Sergeant Craig Beaver said: "Inquiries are ongoing to identify who the man is, and we believe him to be in his 30s.

"He was wearing black trousers, a blue polo shirt and no shoes. He was also carrying a walking stick.

"The man has sustained serious injuries and we are appealing for any witnesses that may have been in the area, who may have seen either the pedestrian or vehicle prior or at the time of the collision, to get in touch.

"I would urge anyone that may have dashcam footage to please contact police on 101 quoting incident number 0428 of November 4 2019."
