by Rebecca Garrett 13 February

A 52 year-old man has died and a 20 year-old man is in a critical condition in hospital following a road crash near Prestwick.

The collision occurred at around 5.15pm on Saturday, February 11, on the B743 Ayr to Annbank Road at St Quivox and involved a Citroen Berlingo and Renault Clio.

Emergency services attended and the drivers of both vehicles were taken to Ayr Hospital, but the 52 year-old driver of the Citroen Berlingo died shortly after admission. 

The 20 year-old driver of the Renault Clio is being treated for his injuries and hospital staff have described his condition as critical.
