Police appeal after horror smash in Gartocharn leaves two people hospitalised

Police are appealing for information after a horror road crash near Gartocharn left two people in a serious condition in hospital.

The smash occurred at around 3.10pm on Thursday Febrary 25 on the A811, just beyond the village towards Drymen. Emergency services rushed to the scene, which was closed for several hours in the aftermath.

Two Ford Transit vans and a Toyota Rav4 were involved in the incident, with a 58 year-old man and a 47 year-old woman from one of the Transit vehicles taken by Ambulance to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital where they are being treated for their injuries. Their condition is described as "serious."

The driver of the other Transit van and the Rav4 did not require medical treatment.

Sergeant Kevin Craig of the Road Policing Unit based at Dumbarton said: “Our investigation into the cause of this crash is continuing.

"I would appeal to anyone who witnessed the crash, who has not yet spoken to police to come forward. I would also like to hear from anyone driving on the A811 near Gartocharn around the time of the crash who has dash-cam footage.

“I would ask anyone with information that may assist our investigation to contact officers through 101 quoting reference number 1732 of 25 February.”
