Road policing officers are now appealing for witnesses and Sergeant Colin Ramage said: “I am appealing to anyone who was travelling on the A75 around 2.15am on Wednesday, 9 July, and saw what happened to contact us. Likewise, if you saw either vehicle prior to the collision and have information which may assist our investigation, please get in touch.

“I’d also ask drivers with dash-cam footage to review this and bring anything of significance to our attention.”

Anyone with information should contact Police Scotland on 101 quoting reference number 0283 of 9 July, 2025.
