A motorcyclist has died following a crash in an Ayrshire village in the early hours of Saturday morning.
The one-vehicle crash happened on Main Street in Auchinleck at about 12.25am, and involved a blue and white Sherco 290 motorbike.
Emergency services attended and the vehicle’s rider, a 34-year-old man, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police said inquiries to establish the full circumstances of the crash are ongoing, and they have appealed to anyone with information about the incident to come forward.
Sergeant Brian Simpson said: “Our thoughts are very much with the family and friends of the deceased at this time.
“We are asking anyone who saw the motorbike prior to the crash, or has any dashcam footage, to please contact police.
“We are also keen to speak with anyone who attended the scene to assist but did not remain to provide their details to officers.”
“If you can assist our inquiries in any way, please call police on 101, quoting incident 0082 of May 24 2025.”
The road was closed for about six hours while investigations were carried out.
