Appeal after man dies after being struck by vehicle, Balmore Road, Glasgow

Police in Glasgow are appealing for information after a man was found seriously injured on A807 on Wednesday, 7 September, 2020, and later died in hospital.

Kieran Paul Murray was discovered around 9.40pm lying on Balmore Road, approximately 500 metres east of the Allander Toll Roundabout, just before Bardowie village near to the 30mph road traffic signs.

A post mortem examination has found the 23-year-old appears to have been struck by a vehicle, and officers are appealing for anyone who may have seen the incident to come forward.

Emergency services attended and he was taken to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, before being transferred to the Glasgow Royal Infirmary for treatment to a serious head injury.

Kieran was pronounced dead in hospital on Friday, 9 October, 2020.

Detective Chief Inspector Gillian Grant, from Police Scotland’s Major Investigation Team said:
