Young individual, aged 18, succumbs to injuries following a collision with a van

A young fellow of 18 met his end at a hospital, eight days following a ghastly incident where he was whacked by a van in Dumfries and Galloway.

The drama unfolded on the A75 near Carsluith around 10:15 PM on the fateful Friday, 18th of April. Law enforcement rocked up to the scene posthaste, discovering the lad receiving a battering from a white Ford Transit van.

The unfortunate lad was whisked away to a health facility and subsequently shipped off to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow where, sadly, he breathed his last on the subsequent day.

The operator of said vehicle, a 28-year-old, and his buddy, a 33-year-old, miraculously emerged unscathed. The pilot of the van was taken into custody on the spot and later freed on bail, pending further inquiries.
