A man has died and four others including children have been injured in a crash.

The collision, involving two cars, happened on the B743 near the Scottish Agricultural College in Auchincruive, South Ayrshire.

An 86-year-old man, who was driving a Mercedes A150, died in hospital on Thursday, five days after the crash between the Whitletts roundabout and Mossblown.

A woman, 85, who was a passenger in the man's car, was taken to Ayr Hospital with serious injuries and has since been released.

Two children, a five-year-old girl and a boy, seven, who were in a BMW 116 series, were also injured as well as the 30-year-old driver. They have also now been released from hospital.

Sergeant Kevin Blackley said: "Although the road is a country road, it's only a couple of miles long and is on the outskirts of Ayr and near to the village of Mossblown.

"At this time of night, it can be relatively busy and indeed, a number of people did stop to assist following the crash, however, we would appeal to anyone who saw the crash and who has not yet spoken to police, to get in touch."
