In an unrelated incident last weekend, a 30-year-old woman has appeared in court charged with attempted murder after a suspected hit-and-run outside a pub in Ayrshire.
Emergency services raced to the scene at Burns Statue Square in Ayr just after 9pm on Saturday, May 17. The woman is believed to have struck a female pedestrian with her car outside the busy Rabbie's Bar before fleeing the scene.
The pedestrian was rushed to Crosshouse Hospital in Kilmarnock to be treated for her injuries, where her condition was described as serious but stable.
Shelby Laughland appeared in Ayr Sheriff Court on Monday, May 19, charged with attempted murder, assault to injury and an attempt to defeat the ends of justice, and was released on bail.
The car involved was pictured on the pavement, lodged between the front of the pub and a bus shelter.
