Woman dies and two teens in hospital with 'serious injuries' following two-car crash

A WOMAN has died, and two teenagers have been taken to hospital with serious injuries, following a crash involving two cars in Dumfries and Galloway

Police were called to a report of a crash involving a grey Ford Ka and a white Seat Ibiza car on the A75 between Castle Douglas and Bridge of Dee at around 8.50pm on Saturday. 

Emergency services attended and three people were taken to Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary.  

The 67-year-old female driver of the Seat died in hospital. Police said her next of kin have been informed. 

Police said the 19-year-old driver of the Ford Ka and a 16-year-old passenger have serious injuries from the crash.  

The road was closed to allow officers to carry out their investigation and was later reopened at around 10am on Sunday. 

Sergeant Lloyd Caven said: “Our thoughts are with the family of the woman who died. Our enquiries into the circumstances are ongoing. 

“I am appealing for anyone who saw the crash who hasn’t already spoken to officers to get in touch. 

“I would also ask anyone who was in the area at the time and may have dash-cam footage which could assist to contact us.” 

Anyone with any information is asked to contact 101 quoting reference 3651 of 3 May, 2025.
