Man dies in horror motorbike crash on Scots road as cops close road for nine hours

A man has died after a horror crash between a motorbike and a car on a Scots road.

The 62-year-old was rushed to Lorne and Islands District and General Hospital after the smash around 2.30pm yesterday on the A85 east of Connel.

A black Kawasaki motorbike collided with a black Mitubishi Outlander.

The man sadly was pronounced dead a short time after arriving at hospital.

Cops closed the road for around nine hours to allow a full collision investigation to take place.

Police have now appealed for the driver of a white Transit van who may have witnessed the incident to come forward.

Inspector Archie McGuire, of Police Scotland’s Argyll and West Dunbartonshire Road Policing Unit said: “Our thoughts go out to the family and friends of those involved in this crash.

“We are appealing to anyone who may have any information surrounding the crash, specifically a white Transit van who was on the road at the time of the incident.

“I would also appeal to anyone who has any dashcam footage of the area to come forward and speak to police.

"As the stay at home message is beginning to ease, I would ask motorists to take extra care when travelling around their local areas.

"Roads may be busier than they have been in recent weeks and we would ask that motorists stay vigilant when making essential journeys.

“Anyone with any information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101 and quoting incident number 2350 of 2/04/21.”
