Was dropping my sis off after watching fast 5 at the cinema & came across this accident on the A76 @ approx 7.30pm
For people in this area, it happened at the Galston crossroads section that has a blind hill approaching it from Kilmarnock. Looks like a car was maybe pulling out of the crossroad & bike went into the side of it, can only guess from the damage on the car.
Was weird, as I was coming out of Kilmarnock cinema, I basically followed the ambulance to the horrific scene so must have only just happened before I got there
All I can say is I really do hope the rider is ok but by the look of him, the way he was lying on the road & state of his bike, I severly doubt it. Cold shivers ran down my back as I passed him :sad1:
Never a nice thing to see :sad1: & I've seen quite alot of nasty accidents etc
If anyone here knows the person or hears anything, please reply here. Would be nice to know that he is hopefully ok after seeing what I did.

Is that at the roundabout at Crossroads or the junction at Crosshands. Both can be pretty bad at times. I had heard there was a smash on that road last night. not nice. How is the ankle doing?

At the junction, yeah lots of accidents there because of the blind crest.
Did look horrific, specially with a bike being involved :sad1:
Ankle is getting there slowly thanks, got slight more complications though, physio reckons I still have major damage to my achilles tendon, so need to wait until I see my surgeon again & go from there.
