A pensioner has died after a late night crash in Falkirk.
Mercy crews scrambled to the B8028 Falkirk Road, between Glen Village and Shieldhill around 10:20pm last night, Friday January 21.
They were alerted to reports of a crash involving a silver Suzuki Swift and a black Volkswagen Scirocco.
A 72-year-old driver was pronounced dead at the scene, while a 21-year-old man was taken to Forth Valley Royal Hospital for treatment. His injuries are not life-threatening.
The road was closed for several hours while an investigation took place as officers tried to establish what happened.
Cops are asking anyone who witnessed the smash to get in touch on 101.
Sergeant David Ross, of the Forth Valley Road Policing Unit, said: "Our thoughts are with the woman’s family and friends at this extremely difficult time.
"We are carrying out an investigation to establish the full circumstances which led to the two vehicles colliding and would urge anyone who may be able to assist to come forward.
"We would be keen to speak to anyone who may have seen either vehicle prior to the incident or who may have dashcam footage from the area on Friday evening.
"Anyone who can help is asked to call 101, quoting reference 3744 of 21 January."
