Around 11.50am on Saturday, May 18, a 60 year-old man, a Dutch national, was driving his red BMW motorcycle north on the B730, near Polnessan, Patna, when the vehicle left the road and collided with a telegraph pole. He died at the scene.
Sergeant Andy Johnson, Ayrshire Road Policing Unit, said: “The motorcyclist was on a touring holiday in Scotland and had left Carlisle earlier that morning, heading north.
“We are aware that there were other vehicles on the B730 near the location a short time before the crash, and I am keen to trace those drivers in particular.
“They may not have seen the crash but they may have seen him driving on that road before hand.
“I would also like to hear from anyone who may have seen him en route from Carlisle.
“We believe his journey took him north on the A77 through Girvan to Maybole then onto the B7045 Kirkmichael road and from there on an unclassified road to the A713 at Patna where he then joined the B730 just prior to the crash.
“If you have any dash cam footage, or indeed any information you think would be helpful to our enquiry, then please contact officers at Irvine Police Office via 101 quoting reference number 1273 of the 18 May 2019 when calling.”
