Fatal road crash – A71 between Moorfield and Bellfield roundabouts, Kilmarnock

Police are appealing for witnesses following a fatal road crash in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, on Wednesday, 16 November 2022.

Around 3.45 am, a Vauxhall Corsa travelling eastbound on the A71 collided with a lorry parked in a lay-by on the A71 between the Moorfield and Bellfield roundabouts. The male driver, who was the only occupant of the car, died at the scene. A report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.

The male lorry driver was not injured.

Sergeant Stewart Taylor, Roads Policing Unit, Ayrshire, said:

“Although the crash happened in the early hours of the morning, this road is the main arterial route between Kilmarnock and Irvine so it’s possible that other vehicles were on the road at the time who may have either seen the crash happen or have information that will assist officers with their enquiries.

“Any information, including dash-cam footage, can be passed to officers via 101. Please quote reference number 0377 of Wednesday, 16 November 2022 when calling.”
