Hunt for driver after two men left dead following 'hit and run' crash

A driver sped away from a crash which killed two men, police said today.

Kevin Hall, 54, and Douglas Murray, 37, died in the crash involving their Volkswagen Golf and a Volkswagen Scirocco on Saturday afternoon.

The driver of the Scirocco fled the scene in rural Auchinleck, west Scotland, at around 4.05pm.

Now Police Scotland has launched an investigation to identify and find the Scirocco driver.

Officers dashed to the scene and, though they were rushed to hospital, Mr Hall, from Ochitree, and Mr Murray, from Auchinleck, couldn't be saved.

"Two men have lost their lives as a result of this crash and inquiries are ongoing," Sergeant Kevin Blackley of Ayrshire's Road Policing Unit said.

"We are urging anyone who may have seen either vehicle prior to the collision, or who witnessed the crash, to contact us as soon as possible.

"We are especially interested in speaking to motorists who may have dashcam footage of either vehicles in the Auchinleck area or footage following the crash that could help us with our investigation."

Witnesses or anyone with information is asked to contact police in Ayrshire by calling 101, quoting incident number 2713 of October 19.

Alternatively, people can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
