Woman 'falls from moving vehicle' on major Scots road as police launch probe

A woman is in a critical condition in hospital after she allegedly fell from a moving vehicle on a major Scots road.

The 48-year-old was found injured in the early hours of this morning at around 1.45am on the A701 at St Ann's, just north of Dumfries.

She was taken to Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary where she remains in a critical condition.

Enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances

Police say it is "vital" that they find out what happened and have appealed for anyone who saw what happened or who has dash-cam footage of the area at the time to contact them.

Detective Inspector Craig Nicolson said: “It’s vital we find out exactly how this woman has come to be injured and I would appeal to anyone who saw what happened to come forward.

“Despite this happening in the early hours, we know there were other vehicles on the road and there were people coming and going from the location of last weekend’s Eden Festival site.

“I would ask anyone who was in or has dash-cam footage of the area between midnight and 2.30am to contact police on 101 quoting reference 0336 of 18 June, 2022.”
