The collision, involving a black Vauxhall Corsa and a grey Volkswagen Golf, happened at the junction with the B7045 near Minishant just before 4pm on Thursday.

Emergency services attended and a 62-year-old woman was taken by air ambulance to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow while a 59-year-old man was taken by ambulance to University Hospital Crosshouse in Kilmarnock.
