A MAN has been taken to hospital following a collision on a busy commuter road in North Ayrshire.
Emergency services were called to the A760 between Kilbirnie and Lochwinnoch at 12.20pm on Friday, May 17.
Eyewitnesses reported seeing an air ambulance in the area as well as police officers at the scene.
Police Scotland have now confirmed that the response was required following a collision between a motorbike and a motorhome.
The rider of the motorbike has since been taken to hospital. It was not confirmed what hospital this was or if they were taken by ambulance or helimed.
Officers added that the road is currently closed in both directions as enquiries remain ongoing.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
