TWO people have died and three taken to hospital after a crash involving two cars on a Scottish road.
Police were called to A85 in Argyll, near Dalmally, at around 2pm on Friday, after reports of a collision between an Audi Q2 and a Ford Mondeo.
A 69-year-old woman driving the Audi and a 70-year-old male passenger were pronounced dead at the scene.
The three men in the Ford Mondeo were taken to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow for treatment, with the road also closed for more than eight hours to allow for investigations to be undertaken.
Sergeant Archie McGuire said: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the two people who have died.
“Our inquiries are ongoing and I am appealing to anyone who was in the area and witnessed the crash to contact us.
“I would also appeal to anyone who was travelling in the area and may have dashcam footage which could assist to get in touch.”
Witnesses are asked to contact 101 with any information regarding the incident, quoting the incident number 1923 of March 31.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
