Woman, 46, dies after two-car crash near Ayr

A 46-year-old woman has died at the scene of a two-car crash near Ayr.

Shona McKinlay, from Dreghorn, was driving a Renault Kangoo van on the A70 when it crashed with a Audi TT near to the Holmston Roundabout just before 06:00 on Friday.

A 44-year-old female passenger in the van and the 23-year-old driver of the Audi were both taken to hospital.

Police Scotland said both have injuries which are serious but not life-threatening.

The A70 was closed for about 11 hours to allow for a police investigation.

Sgt Stewart Taylor said: “We are continuing with enquiries to establish the full circumstances and anyone with information or who may have dashcam or CCTV footage from the area is asked to get in touch.”
