A man who died following a three-car crash in East Dunbartonshire, which also left a teen fighting for her life, has been named by police.
Emergency services were called to Auchenhowie Road in Milngavie at around 9.05pm on Sunday, after a Skoda Superb, Audi A4 and a Ford Tourneo Classic were involved in a crash.
The 21-year-old rear seat passenger of the Skoda was pronounced dead at the scene.
He has now been identified as Ryan Wheeler from Maryhill.
A 16-year-old girl, also a rear seat passenger from the Skoda, was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, where her condition has been described as critical.
The driver of the Skoda, a 19-year-old man, was taken to the same hospital with serious injuries.
He has subsequently been arrested in connection with the crash.
A further two male passengers from the car, aged 23 and 17, sustained minor injuries and have also been arrested.
The 65-year-old female driver of the Audi and her 82-year-old male passenger were uninjured.
