Tributes have been paid to a young man killed in a Scots horror crash as his family say that he will be ‘forever missed’.
Emergency crews raced to B742 south of Dalrymple near Maybole in Ayrshire at around 12.50am on Monday, April 21 after receiving reports of an incident involving a black BMW one series car.
They discovered the driver of the car, Ewan MacDonald, 24, from the local Maybole area, who was then pronounced dead at the scene.
His family have asked for privacy but have released his picture and a touching tribute in his honour.
It read: “Ewan will be forever missed. We are so grateful for all the love, support and kindness shown from our family, friends and community.”
Police Scotland are now appealing for more information following the fatal crash and have asked anyone who may have witnessed it to come forward.
Sergeant Scott Gourlay said: “Our thoughts are with Ewan’s family and friends.
“Enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances, and I ask anyone who has not spoken to the police already and saw what happened to contact us.
“I would also appeal to anyone who was in the area at the time and may have dash-cam or CCTV which could assist to get in touch.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101 quoting incident number 0138 of Monday, 21 April, 2025.
