Woman dies after two-vehicle crash on A75

A 77-year-old woman has died after a crash on the A75 in the south of Scotland.

The accident - involving a red Suzuki Ignis and a white Peugeot Partner van - happened at about 11:20 on Wednesday near Skyreburn.

The woman - who was a passenger in the Suzuki - was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital for treatment but later died.

The driver and passenger of the van - a man and a woman both aged 70 - were taken to Dumfries Infirmary for treatment. The 74-year-old man who was driving the Suzuki was not injured.

Insp Gavin McHallum said: "Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the woman who died at this difficult time.

"Inquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances, and we would urge anyone who saw what happened or who has dashcam footage from the area to come forward.

"We're particularly keen to speak with the driver of a red van seen travelling east on the A75, who may have information that could assist our inquiries."
