Google MapsEyewitnesses are being asked to come forward after the death of a driver who crashed into barriers on the M8.
Emergency crews were called to reports of a single-vehicle crash on the motorway shortly before 2am on Monday.
A red Renault Captur had crashed into barriers on the westbound carriageway between Bishopton and Langbank, Renfrewshire.
The 30-year-old driver, who was the only person in the car, died at the scene.
Police said a report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal, and are appealing for witnesses and dash-cam footage which could help with their investigation.
Sergeant Kenny Malaney, Road Policing Unit, said: “A number of other motorists who saw the crash stopped and tried to help the man until emergency services arrived but unfortunately he did not survive the crash.
“Although we have spoken to those who stopped to assist, we are still keen to hear from anyone who may have been on the M8 westbound that morning between 1.40am and 1.50am who may have seen the car driving on the road prior to the crash or the collision itself and who has not yet come forward.
“Dash-cam video would also be helpful as it may have captured footage that could help our investigation.”
Any information can be passed to Police Scotland via 101 quoting reference number 0217 of Monday, May 22, 2023.
