TWO men have died following car crashes on Scottish roads.
A 90-year-old male driver died six days after he was involved in a two-car collision in Perth and Kinross on Sunday, February 17.
The elderly man sustained chest injuries as a result of the collision on the A977 at Blairingone and was taken to Forth Valley Royal Hospital where he died on Saturday.
The red Ford Ka he was driving collided with a silver Renault Megane. The man and woman in the Megane suffered minor injuries.
A police spokesman said: "The adult male driver of the Ford Ka sustained a chest injury and was later admitted to hospital. Sadly the driver's condition has since deteriorated and he died."
Inquiries are continuing and a report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.
In a second, separate incident, a 32-year-old man, named by police as John Adams, died following a road crash in Kilmarnock on Friday, February 22.
Mr Adams died at the scene after his white Peugeot 205 left the carriageway and hit a crash barrier on Kilmaurs Road between Crosshouse and Knockentiber. His family has been informed.
Police are asking for information into the two separate incidents.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
