A YOUNG man has died after the car he was driving went out of control and struck the central concrete barrier.
The 21-year-old was in his Vauxhall Corsa at around 7.50pm on Thursday, August 17 when it crashed.
He was driving northbound on the M80, near Junction 4, Moodiesburn, when it appears the car went out of control and struck the central concrete barrier.
He was taken by ambulance to Glasgow Royal Infirmary where he died a short time later.
A report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.
Inspector Darren Faulds, Trunk Road Patrol Group Motherwell, said: “Whilst officers have spoken to a number of people who stopped to assist the man after the crash, we are keen to hear from anyone who may have seen the car on the M80 prior to the incident, or who may have information that will assist our enquiries.”
