A cyclist has died after being hit by a car near the Erskine Bridge.
Allan Smith, 58, from Glasgow, died after the collision with a Vauxhall Mokka at about 12.10pm on Sunday.
Mr Smith, who was cycling on the A82 slip road to the bridge, was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow where he later died. The 83-year-old driver of the car was uninjured.
Police say the road was closed for several hours while investigators examined the scene.
Sergeant Archie McGuire, from Police Scotland's Road Policing Unit, has appealed to motorists with information or dashboard camera footage to get in touch.
He said: "It's vital we establish the circumstances of what has happened and I'm appealing to any motorists who were on the A82, either travelling eastbound or westbound, to contact me.
"Also, if you have any dashcam footage, please let us know as this could assist in our investigation."
Anyone with any information is asked to call officers in Dumbarton or Campbeltown.
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
