A man is in a serious condition in hospital after a two-car crash near an Oban Farm.

Police said a Renault Clio and Ssangyong Rexton collided with each other on the A85 Oban to Tyndrum trunk road, about 100 metres away from Pennyfuir Farm.

The accident happened after the Clio, being driven towards Oban by a 52-year-old man, crossed the carriageway and struck the Rexton being driven in the opposite direction by another 52-year-old man.

The Rexton driver and his 44-year-old wife were taken to the Lorn and Isle District General Hospital in Oban. They were later released without the need for treatment.

However, the driver of the Renault Clio suffered a serious head injury.

He was initially taken to the Lorn and Isle General Hospital but was later transferred to the Southern General Hospital in Glasgow. 

Medical staff describe his condition as "serious but stable".

Constable Elaine Ross is continuing enquiries to establish the full circumstances surrounding the crash.

Witnesses are asked to contact her office at the Road Policing department at Oban Police Office on 01631 510500.
