POLICE have renewed an appeal for witnesses after a man was knocked down and killed by a car.
Ronald Longwill, 54, who was named last night by officers, was struck by a Vauxhall Astra shortly after 9pm on Saturday night in Love Street, Paisley.
Officers said the family of Mr Longwill, of Paisley, who died in the town's Royal Alexandra Hospital, have been informed.
The 24-year-old male driver of the Vauxhall was uninjured.
A full report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal. Police enquiries are continuing.
Sergeant Mark Miller of the Road Policing Unit in Paisley said: "I would ask anyone who was in the area of Love Street around 2100 hours on Saturday evening and saw the crash to come forward.
"Any person with information is asked to telephone Road Policing at Paisley on the non-emergency number 101."
It was one of two road deaths involving pedestrians in Scotland over the weekend.
A 46-year-old man, who has not yet been named, died after being struck by a car at Arden, near the Cameron House Hotel by Loch Lomond, on Saturday.
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
