Police launch appeal after worker killed and four others injured on A82 in Dumbarton

Police have launched an appeal after a man was killed after being hit by a vehicle on the A82 in Dumbarton yesterday (May 9) evening.

At around 8pm on Monday evening, a grey BMW 3 series struck five men who were working on the grass verge just west of the Lomondgate roundabout in Dumbarton.

Emergency services attended, with a 59-year-old man pronounced dead at the scene.

A 37 year-old man was taken by Ambulance to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow where hospital staff describe his condition as serious.

Three men aged 38, 43 and 46 years-old were taken by Ambulance to the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley and released after treatment.

The 43-year-old male driver of the BMW and his 35-year-old passenger were uninjured, but the road remained closed until 5am this morning (May 10).

Sergeant Hugh Niccolls from the Road Policing Unit at Dumbarton said: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the man who died and his colleagues who were injured.

“Our enquiries into this crash are continuing and I would appeal to anyone who witnessed this crash, or who was driving on this road and has dash-cam footage to contact us. I would also like to hear from anyone who saw the BMW 3 series car driving on this road before the crash took place.

“Anyone with information should contact police through 101 with reference number 3304 of 9 May.”
