A motorcyclist was airlifted to hospital with serious injuries after crashing into a wall.
The orange Superbyke motorcycle was travelling south on Main Street, Dundonald, when it turned into Tarbolton Road and collided with a wall at around 11.30am on Saturday.
The motorcyclist, a 35-year-old man, was taken by air ambulance to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow where he remains.
Police are appealing for information about the crash in South Ayrshire.
Sergeant Stewart Taylor, of the Irvine Road Policing Unit, said: “A man has sustained serious injuries as a result of this collision, so it is important that we establish exactly how the crash occurred.
“We are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed the crash or was in the area at the time of the collision to get in touch.
“I would also ask anyone with dash cam devices to check their footage as it may hold images which could prove significant to our inquiries.”
The road was closed for around five-and-a-half hours following the crash while collision investigations were carried out.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact Police Scotland via 101, quoting incident number 1463 of Saturday August 27, 2022.
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.

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.
