A 67-year-old man has died following a horror road smash on a Hillfoots road last week.

The man died following a crash that saw three others rushed to hospital.

The three-car collision occurred on the A91, near Alva, on Thursday, February 9. At around 11.20am, a red Fiat 500, a red Kia Picanto and a blue Honda CR-V collided on the eastbound carriagewa­y, between Menstrie and Alva.

Initially, police said that four people were hospitalis­ed, including the 67-year-old male driver of the Fiat 500 who sustained serious head injuries. However, it was confirmed this week that the man had died.

His 58-year-old female passenger’s condition is described as serious but stable. The 75-year-old female driver of the red Kia Picanto and the 62-year-old female driver of the blue Honda CR-V remained in hospital for treatment. Their conditions were described by medical staff as stable.

A Police Scotland spokespers­on this week told the Observer: “A 67-yearold man has died following a crash on the A91 between Menstrie and Alva in Clackmanna­nshire.

“The incident happened around 11.20am on Thursday, February 9, and involved a red Fiat 500, a red Kia Picanto and a blue Honda CR-V.

“The four occupants of the cars, a man and three women, were all taken by ambulance to Forth Valley Royal Hospital, Larbert.

“The 67-year-old male driver of the Fiat died in hospital on Saturday, February 11.”

Constable Kieran Grant, of the Roads Policing Unit at Stirling, last week said: “We would ask anyone who witnessed the crash, who has not yet been spoken to police, to come forward. If you have any informatio­n that may assist our enquiry, or have dash-cam footage from the road around the time of the collision, then please call police.”

Enquiries remain ongoing and anyone with informatio­n is urged to contact police on 101, quoting reference 1111 of February 9.
