First pic of Scots biker killed in horror crash as police close road for 8 hours

A Scots biker has tragically died in hospital after crashing his motorcycle in East Dunbartonshire.

Robert Paton was seriously injured after coming off his blue Suzuki bike on the A891, near Strathblane, at around 3.20pm on Sunday, May 28.

The 48-year-old was rushed to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow for treatment to his injuries. He lost his fight for life on Monday, Police Scotland have confirmed.

Officers closed the road for around eight hours to allow for a full accident investigation to be carried out. It was reopened at 11.30pm on Sunday.

Police are keen to speak to anyone who may have witnessed the crash or who has dashcam footage from the area.

Sergeant Nick Twigg of Glasgow Road Policing said: “Our thoughts are with Robert's family and friends and our enquiries to establish the full circumstances remain ongoing.

“I am appealing for anyone who saw the motorcycle before the crash, and who has not already spoken to officers, to get in touch.

“I would also ask anyone who was on the A891 around the time and who may have dash-cam footage which could assist to contact us.”

Anyone with any information is asked to contact 101, quoting incident 2383 of 28 May, 2023.
