THREE people remain in hospital after Saturday’s fatal coach crash involving Rangers supporters in Ayrshire.
Police Scotland have released an update on the condition of the passengers who were injured when the Nith Valley Loyal RSC bus toppled over on the Crossroads Roundabout on the A76 on its way to Ibrox.
One man, 39-year-old Ryan Baird died and 17 others were taken to hospital for treatment.
We are told four people were kept in hospital overnight, with one man, aged 67, released this morning.
Three people, two men, aged 19 and 61 and a woman, aged 64, remain in hospital where medical staff describe their condition as serious but not life threatening.
The coach was removed from the location last night for further examination and enquiries into establishing the circumstances of the crash are ongoing.
Anyone with information is asked to contact officers at Irvine Police Office on 101.
Tributes continue for Rangers fan Ryan Baird, who lost his life.
A JustGiving page has been set up to raise cash to ‘help his family through this difficult time of loss’.
The page was set up by fellow fan Craig Lennox, who posted “Ryan Baird died after the crash on the A76 at the Crossroads roundabout near to Bowhouse Prison on Saturday at around 1.15pm traveling to Ibrox stadium to see the team he loved.”
He is trying to raise money to help the family left behind.
