I've had a few days now to process and reflect and I still can't understand why you were chosen to be taken away so soon.

"You won't ever understand how much you are missed and loved. I'm so blessed to have known you so sad to have lost you but so happy to have you as family. Missing you so much already.

The road was closed for just over four hours following the crash on the northbound carriageway. An investigation into the collision is ongoing, with police urging anyone who may have witnessed the accident to come forward.

Sergeant Brian Simpson, Dumbarton Road Policing Unit, said: “Our thoughts remain with Andrew’s family and friends.

“Enquiries are ongoing into the crash and I am appealing for anyone, not already been spoken to by police, who witnessed the crash or saw the two vehicles prior to the collision, to get in touch.

“I am particularly keen to hear from the drivers of a dark coloured Volkswagen Touareg and a white Arnold Clark hire van who were in the area at the time. It’s possible they may have information or have dash-cam footage that will be of help to our investigation.”

Anyone with any information, including dash-cam footage, is asked to contact 101 quoting incident number3676 of 13 June 2023.
