A TEENAGER has died in hospital after a two car crash in Ayrshire, with Police Scotland now urging anyone who witnessed the accident to contact them.
Cameron Leith, from Ayr, was involved in a crash between the Vauxhall Vectra he was driving and a Ford Kuga at around 7.35am on Wednesday, at the B7045 junction with the B742 near Minishant in South Ayrshire.
The 19-year-old was taken to Crosshouse Hospital in Kilmarnock, and then to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow for further treatment.
He died in hospital on Friday, and a report has been submitted to the Procurator Fiscal, Police Scotland said on Sunday.
Officers have now urged anyone who may have witnessed the incident to contact them on 101.
Sgt Craig Beaver, of Ayrshire Road Policing, said: “We are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash and would ask anyone who has not yet come forward with information to get in touch with police.
“We’re also keen to hear from anyone who may have witnessed the incident or motorists with dashcam footage from around the time of the crash.
“Anyone with information can call police on 101, quoting incident 0429 of 17 November.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
