Man dies in head-on horror smash in the Borders as cops launch probe

A man has died after a fatal head-on collision in the Borders.

Emergency services raced to the A68 in the Soutra area at 7pm on Saturday evening after reports of the horror crash.

The 57-year-old driver of the Toyota Auris involved in the collision was announced dead at the scene.

Scottish Ambulance Service crews assessed a 51-year-old man and 15-year-old boy inside a Porsche Macan.

The pair did not suffer any serious injuries.

Police have now launched a probe into the fatal crash and are appealing for dashcam footage.
