A 71-year-old biker has been seriously injured in a crash on the A745 in southern Scotland.

The accident happened at about 16:10 on Saturday on the Dalbeattie to Castle Douglas road and involved a red Ducati F848 motorbike and a silver Skoda Octavia.

The man on the motorcycle was taken to hospital with serious injuries while the car driver did not require medical attention.

Police have appealed for anyone with information about the accident to contact them.

It is the latest in a string of accidents involving motorbikes in the south of Scotland in recent weeks.

A 58-year-old man died in a crash near Saughtree in the Borders on Sunday.

Last month, 61-year-old Iain McCrory was killed in an accident involving a lorry and a motorbike near Moffat.

A 70-year-old also died on the same day when his red and cream Moto Guzzi was involved in a collision with a car and a lorry on the A68 at Earlston in the Borders.
