Police investigating a fatal collision between a car and an ambulance have issued a fresh appeal for witnesses.
Zoe Clark, 24, died in the crash on the A76 in Dumfries and Galloway which happened as the ambulance was transferring a female patient to hospital following an earlier road accident on the same route.
Two male paramedics, aged 58 and 39, the woman patient and her husband were also injured in the collision which happened at 8.40am yesterday.
The 58-year-old paramedic was airlifted to Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary with a neck fracture and head injury.
The 39-year-old, who was driving the ambulance, was taken to the same hospital by road along with the woman, aged 28, and her 31-year-old husband.
Ms Clark, from Carronbridge, Thornhill, was driving her Vauxhall Corsa north when it was in collision with the southbound ambulance about five miles south of Mennock.
Police appealed for information from any witnesses.
Sergeant Doug Millar, of the roads policing unit, said: "While the crash scene investigation has now taken place, we are still keen to hear from anyone who may have witnessed the crash, or who was on that particular stretch of roadway at that time."
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.
