A man killed in a road crash near Troon yesterday has been named as Peter Ross.
The 29-year-old, from Saltcoats, was driving a blue Ford Focus ST when it collided with a stationary HGV parked in a layby around half a mile from the Corraith slip road on the A78.
Mr Ross was the sole occupant of the car and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The lorry driver suffered minor injuries, but did not require medical treatment following the incident, which took place around 12pm.

“Our enquiries into the full circumstances of the crash remain ongoing and we continue to appeal for any motorists who witnessed the incident, or saw the Ford Focus ST travelling southbound on the A78, to please come forward.
"I would also appeal to anyone who may have dash-cam footage to contact officers as soon as possible.
