Two people taken to hospital following Galloway motorcycle accident

Police are urging anyone with information to come forward

TWO people have been taken to hospital following a motorcycle accident. 

Police Scotland has said a blue Yamaha XJR bike was in a collision with a yellow Ford EcoSport car on the A714 near Glentrool in Galloway, in the south-west of Scotland, at around 5.30pm on Saturday. 

A 61-year-old man, who was driving the motorbike, and a 60-year-old who was his pillion passenger, were taken to Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary in Dumfries after the incident. 

Two people, aged 30 and 31, who were in the car were both uninjured, Police Scotland confirmed. 

Officers are keen to speak to anyone who witnessed the crash. 

PC Liza Murdoch said: “Inquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances and I am appealing to anyone who may have seen the vehicles before the crash to get in touch.

“We are particularly interested in speaking with the driver of a red van and other motorcyclists who were seen in the area shortly before the crash.

“I am also asking anyone who may have dashcam footage that could assist our inquiries to contact us.”
