Google MapsA major road in Dumfries has been closed after a man was found seriously injured between the New Cargen Bridge Roundabout and the Cuckoo Bridge Roundabout.
Police said it was unclear how the man had become hurt after he was discovered at around 3.30am and was taken to Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary.
The A75, which runs between the two roundabouts, was closed in both directions in the early morning.
Officers appealed for anyone travelling on the A75 or the Hardthorn Road, which passes over the top of the A75, who may have seen something to get in touch.
