Police have named a man killed in a crash involving a car and a lorry on the A75 in south-west Scotland.

Sgt Neil Moffat said: "Our thoughts remain with the family and friends of Mr Wood at this very difficult time.

“We continue to appeal to anyone who may have seen what happened to get in touch.

"Likewise, if you have dash-cam footage that could assist with our investigation then contact officers."
