A woman, 46, was killed in a two-car accident near Ayr

A 46-year-old woman was killed in a two-car crash near Ayr.

Shona McKinlay, of Dreghorn, was driving a Renault Kangoo van on the A70 near the Holmston Roundabout just before 06:00 on Friday when it collided with an Audi TT.

A 44-year-old female passenger in the van and Audi’s 23-year-old driver were both taken to the hospital.

Police Scotland said both have injuries that are serious but not life-threatening.

The A70 was closed for about 11 hours to allow for a police investigation.

Sgt Stewart Taylor said: “We are continuing with enquiries to establish the full circumstances and anyone with information or who may have dashcam or CCTV footage from the area is asked to get in touch.”
