Firefighters rescued a man following a collision involving a lorry, a van and a car in Ayrshire.

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) crews used hydraulic cutting equipment to free the man from the van before he was taken to Crosshouse Hospital in Kilmarnock.

The incident happened shortly after 7am on Tuesday, July 12 on the A71 at the A76 in Hurlford.

Ambulance staff also checked out three other adults.

The SFRS say they had not been trapped and did not need further treatment.

SFRS crews from Kilmarnock and Dreghorn were sent in response to a call from police and the first of the three appliances reached the scene four minutes later.

After safely releasing the trapped man firefighters made the scene safe before leaving around 7.45am.
