A MAN has died following a road accident near Helensburgh this morning - the second fatal car crash in the area within 24 hours.
Police confirmed that a male driver of an Audi was pronounced deceased at the scene of the one-vehicle incident on the A817 Haul Road shortly after 10am on Tuesday.
Officers attended the scene as passengers from other cars nearby were administering first aid to the man, but prolonged medical intervention from ambulance crews and trauma team doctors could not save his life.
