A 53-year-old woman has died after a crash in South Lanarkshire.
The motorcyclist died at the scene after a crash with a black BMW on the A706 near the village of Forth on Saturday at 4.30pm.
Police Scotland has asked for witnesses to come forward to establish the full circumstances of the crash.
Constable Gemma Blackadder said: “Our thoughts are with the family of the deceased at this time, as they come to terms with their tragic loss.
“Our investigation into this incident remains ongoing and we are asking for anyone with information to please come forward.
“We are aware that there were a number of people at the scene of the crash, so if you did witness anything and have yet to speak to police, please call 101, quoting incident 2695 of April 3.
“We are also keen to hear from anyone in the area who may have potential dashcam footage or CCTV, which could assist our inquiries.”
A 20-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the collision and released to allow further investigation.
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
