The body of a 38-year-old man's been found in a car following a crash on the A908 near Tillicoultry.

Officers were attending another incident when they came across a black Volkswagen Golf, down an embankment at the junction with Lower Mill Street.

It's believed he crashed between 5am and 8am on Sunday, before he was found by police at 9 o'clock that morning.

It's thought he was travelling from Sauchie and Tillicoultry and the road was closed for around eight hours while investigations were carried out.

The death isn’t being treated as suspicious, however, enquiries into the cause of the crash are ongoing.

Constable Fraser Easton, of the Stirling Road Policing Unit, said: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the man who died.

“I would urge anyone who may have witnessed the crash or been on the road in the early hours of Sunday morning contact us.

“Similarly I would appeal to anyone who has dash-cam footage to contact officers as soon as possible.

“Anyone with information can contact police via 101, quoting incident number 0962 of 27 March, 2022.”
