A teenage driver has died after his car was involved in a crash with two other vehicles in North Lanarkshire.
The crash happened on the A73 Stirling Road, near to Dykehead Road, on the outskirts of Airdrie shortly before 1.15pm on Sunday.
The 18-year-old was driving a black Volkswagen Polo which collided with a Seat Leon and a Vauxhall Insignia.

A passenger in the Polo was injured and taken to Monklands Hospital along with the occupants of both other vehicles.
Sergeant Simon Reilly said: “We are supporting the man’s family and friends at this difficult time.
“We are carrying out inquiries to establish the full circumstances of the collision and we would urge anyone with information who has not yet spoken to a police officer to come forward as soon as possible.
“Anyone with information can contact police on 101, quoting reference 1922 of October 6.”
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
