Storm Éowyn: Teenager dies after car hit by falling tree

A teenager whose car was struck by a falling tree during Storm Éowyn has died of his injuries.

The 19-year-old was driving a blue Ford Focus on the B743 in Mauchline, East Ayrshire, at about 06:45 on Friday when the accident happened.

He was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow for treatment but died on Saturday.

An amber weather warning was in place in that area at the time. The crash happened just over three hours before a red weather warning came into force.

Sgt Chris McColm of Police Scotland's road policing unit said: "Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the man who died."

He is the second person to die following Friday's storm.

In the Republic of Ireland, 20-year-old Kacper Dudek died after a tree fell on his car in County Donegal.
