A man has been arrested after a crash in North Ayrshire left a biker in a critical condition.
The 70-year-old male motorcyclist was riding a black Aprilia motorcycle when it was involved in a collision with a silver Audi A5.
The incident happened on the A736 Lochlibo Road at Torranyard, near to the Viewfield Manor Leisure Park, shortly after 3pm on Tuesday.
The biker was taken to Crosshouse Hospital in Kilmarnock, where he is said to be in a critical condition.
The 55-year-old man driving the car was arrested and later released without charge, pending further inquiries.
Road Policing Sergeant Ian Thornton said: “Our investigation into what happened continues and we are keen to speak to anyone who has not yet spoken to officers.
“In particular we would like to speak to anyone who may have dash-cam footage that could help with our inquiries.
“Anyone with information should call Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 2340 of Tuesday June 2 2020.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
