Tributes have been pouring in for two young men killed in a car crash in South Lanarkshire yesterday.

Daryl Hunter and Nairn Steele, both 23 and from Larkhall, were travelling in a Volkswagen Golf on the A723 near Strathaven when they hit a lorry.

It happened near Muirhall Farm at about 2.55pm.

The 26-year-old driver of that vehicle wasn't hurt but Daryl and Nairn were pronounced dead at the scene.

Shocked friends have taken to social media, saying Daryl was always smiling and a great guy.

Friend of Daryl’s, Billy Kirkland told Clyde News; “Everyone will miss his energy, his laugh, his banter. There’s nothing you wouldn’t miss. He was such a big character in the town, I just cannot believe it.”
