A young man has died after crashing into a tree in Ayrshire.
The 26-year-old man was driving a Volkswagen Golf along the B768 Stewarton to Irvine Road around 9.45pm on Monday when the tragedy happened.
It is believed the car left the road and struck a tree.
Emergency services rushed to the scene and three male passengers in the car were taken by ambulance to Crosshouse Hospital in Kilmarnock.
The 26-year-old driver of the car died in hospital a short time later.
The two other passengers in the car are both being treated at Crosshouse Hospital for serious injuries.
Hospital staff describe both their conditions as serious.
Sergeant Kevin Blackley of Ayrshire Road Policing Unit is appealing for anyone who may have witnessed the crash, or anyone who saw the Volkswagen Golf driving on that road before the crash took place to contact Irvine Police Office through 101 quoting reference number 4223 of 16th July.
