Road Policing Officers are appealing for information following a serious road traffic collision on the A85 at Bridge of Awe near Taynuilt.

Around 1.50pm on Sunday, 31 July, 2022, officers were called to a report of a two-vehicle crash involving a grey Renault Master and a white Yamaha motorcycle.

The 38-year-old male driver of the van was uninjured.

The road was closed for around 8 hours to allow crash scene investigators to conduct their enquiries.

Sergeant Archie Mcguire said: “A man has sustained serious injuries as a result of this incident so it is important that we establish how this crash occurred.

“We are appealing for anyone who witnessed the crash and has not already spoken with officers to get in touch with police.

"In particular, we are keen to speak to a motorcyclist who we believe to have witnessed the collision.

"I would also ask anyone who was in the area with dash cam devices to check their footage as it could hold images that could help us in our enquiries."

Anyone with information can call 101, quoting reference 2010 of Sunday, 31 July, 2022, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
