The crash happened on a busy road which runs from Glasgow to Inverness, and is popular with tourists. A 71-year-old man has been killed in a six-vehicle crash on a busy tourist route on the hottest day of the year so far. The pensioner was riding a Harley Davidson motorbike with side car when it was involved in the horror incident along with five cars on the A82 near Renton, West Dunbartonshire, on Saturday, July 12. He was tragically pronounced dead at the scene. The road was closed for over six hours for investigations following the collision at 1.45pm, eventually reopening at around 8.10pm. The man's next of kin have been informed. The drivers of all five cars, a Volvo XC90, a Nissan Juke, a Vauxhall Corsa, an Audi A6 sport and a Seat Leon, were not injured.

Sergeant Kenny Malaney of Road Policing West said: 'Our inquiries are continuing to establish the full circumstances of what happened. Sadly, the male motorcyclist died, and our thoughts are with his family and friends. 'The road would have been busy at the time and I would ask anyone who may have witnessed the crash, or who may have dash-cam footage to contact us as soon as possible. 'Anyone with information should call Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 1927 of Saturday, 12 July, 2025.' The crash happened as Scotland recorded its hottest day of 2025 so far, and the hottest for over two years. Temperatures reached as high as 30C in some parts of the country, as health bosses advised revellers attending TRNSMT festival at Glasgow Green over the weekend to cover up and stay hydrated to avoid sunburn and sunstroke.
