A 74-year-old man has died in hospital after two cars and a van crashed in the Scottish Borders.

The accident - involving a white Range Rover Evoque, a silver Vauxhall Insignia and a yellow Iveco Daily van - happened at about 09:40 on Monday on the A7 near Boleside, south of Galashiels.

The driver of the Vauxhall was taken to hospital but died as a result of his injuries.

His 72-year-old female passenger and the 41-year-old woman driving the Range Rover were also treated in hospital and released.

The road was shut for more than three hours while accident investigations took place.

Sgt Jamie Humpage urged anyone with information on the crash, particularly anyone who was driving in the area who may have dashcam footage, to get in touch with Police Scotland via the non-emergency line.
