Police appeal after car hits five people on verge, killing one

Police have put out an appeal for witnesses to the crash which left one man dead

POLICE are appealing for witnesses after a car came off a busy Scottish road and hit five people, killing one.

Officers said the fatal crash happened on the A82 north of Dumbarton on Monday, May 9 at around 8pm.

A grey BMW 3 series hit five men who were working on the grass verge near the Lomondgate roundabout.

Emergency services were called to the scene, where a 59-year-old man was pronounced dead.

A 37 year-old man was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow in a “serious” condition.

Three further men, aged 38, 43 and 46, were taken by ambulance to the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley and released after treatment.

The 43-year-old male driver of the BMW and his 35-year-old passenger were uninjured.

Sergeant Hugh Niccolls from the Road Policing Unit at Dumbarton said: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the man who died and his colleagues who were injured.

“Our enquiries into this crash are continuing and I would appeal to anyone who witnessed this crash, or who was driving on this road and has dash-cam footage to contact us.

“I would also like to hear from anyone who saw the BMW 3 series car driving on this road before the crash took place.

“Anyone with information should contact police through 101 with reference number 3304 of 9 May.”
