Emergency services attended and one male, aged 17, was airlifted to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh.
His condition is described as critical but stable.
A 19-year-old man was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital and two other males, aged 18 and 19, were taken to Wishaw University Hospital.
The road was closed to allow for a collision investigation to take place.
Sergeant Jack Swindells said: “An investigation is under way as we aim to establish the full circumstances of what happened.
“I am appealing to any motorists who were travelling on the A721 Kilncadzow/Carnwath Road who may have seen the Ford Ka prior to it leaving the road.
“I’d also ask anyone with dash cam equipment to check their footage as there may be images of the vehicle which could assist our inquiries.”
Anyone with information is being urged to contact Police Scotland via 101, quoting incident number 4082 of June 10, 2024.
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!
