Road policing officers are appealing for witnesses after a collision just south of the Stoneymollan Roundabout at Balloch on Thursday, January 11, at around 11.45am.

The incident involved a 75-year-old male driver in a black Mitsubishi Outlander car and a 65-year-old male cyclist on the Renton bypass on the A82.
