A 60-year-old and 35-year-old are in hospital in a critical condition after a crash near the Falls of Falloch
Two women are fighting for their lives in hospital after a crash near a beauty spot on Loch Lomondside.
Emergency services were called to the A82, near the Falls of Falloch, between Ardlui and Crianlarich, at around 1.40pm on Saturday after a crash between a Ford Mondeo and an Audi A2.
A woman, 35, was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow where staff describe her condition as critical.
It was also confirmed that another woman, 60, was taken to the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley where she remains in a critical condition.
Constable Ian Marshall said: “Our inquiries are continuing to establish the cause of this crash. I would urge any witnesses or anyone with information to contact us.
“I would also ask any drivers on the road with dashcam from around the time of the crash to review their footage and please contact us if it holds anything relevant.
“Anyone with information should contact 101 quoting incident number 1657 of March 15, 2025.”
The A82 is a lethal road with an absolutely horrendous level of deaths and serious injuries.
The death and injury statistics are so bad that the A82 would not be out of place in a third wirld country and are a measure of poverty.
In fact one only need think of the section of the A82 near Ardlui where two buses struggle to pass each other such is the narrowness of the road in what is Scotlands west coast national trunk road.
Ah well in third world countries people just have to put up with the death and injury, and so too in Scotland.
