POLICE have renewed their appeal for information two weeks after a pensioner was involved in a collision with a car in the Borders.

Seventy-five-year-old Carl Lane, the president of Peebles Cycling Club, was left in a critical condition following the incident on Monday, October 27 around 6pm.

He was riding along the A72 on a bike when he was involved in a collision with a Volvo car.

Following the incident, which happened on the Peebles to Glentress Road near to Eshiels Mill, the cyclist was taken to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh and has now been transferred to Glasgow where he remains in a critical condition.

In particular, Road Policing Officers are keen to hear from any road users who witnessed the collision or saw either vehicle but have not yet come forward.

Sergeant Neil Inglis said: “Two weeks on from this incident, we are still trying to establish exactly what happened to result in the collision taking place.

“As such, I would ask that any motorists or cyclists who were on the A72 on Monday evening and saw either the vehicles involved prior to the collision is asked to contact police immediately.

“In addition, anyone with any further information relevant to our investigation is also asked to get in touch.” Those with information can contact Police Scotland on 101.
