A teenage boy died and six people were taken to hospital following a two-car crash in East Ayrshire.

Lewis Campbell, 15, from Cumnock, was a enger in one of the cars. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

One woman and five teenagers were taken to the University Hospital Crosshouse in Kilmarnock after the collision.

They included the 18-year-old male driver of the Peugeot and an 18-year-old woman and 19-year-old man who, along with the crash victim, were engers.

A 54-year-old woman had been driving the other car with two engers, a girl aged 13 and a boy aged 15.
