THE driver of a car involved in a single-vehicle crash on the M8 at Langbank has died, police confirmed this morning.
It is understood that the 30-year-old man died at the scene of the incident in the early hours of yesterday morning.
The crash occurred on the westbound carriageway between Bishopton and Langbank at around 1.50am.
Police Scotland have said that the driver - the only occupant of the red Renault Captur car - will not be named at this time.
Sergeant Kenny Malaney of the Road Policing Unit said: “A number of other motorists who saw the crash stopped and tried to help the man until emergency services arrived but unfortunately he did not survive the crash.
“Although we have spoken to those who stopped to assist, we are still keen to hear from anyone who may have been on the M8 westbound that morning between 1.40am and 1.50am who may have seen the car driving on the road prior to the crash or the collision itself and who has not yet come forward.
“Dashcam video would also be helpful as it may have captured footage that could help our investigation.”
Those with any information which could assist police are asked to contact 101, quoting reference number 0217 of Monday, May 22, 2023.
