Question

To ask the Scottish Government how many (a) fatal and (b) non-fatal accidents involving (i) HGVs and (ii) other vehicles on the A77 there (A) were in each of the last two calendar years and (B) have been in 2026 to date, also broken down by the section of the road that passes through South Ayrshire.


Answer

The following tables provide the number of injury road collisions on the A77 with the requested breakdowns.

Please note that figures for 2025 and 2026 are provisional, as they are based on monthly returns received thus far from Police Scotland, with the most recent returns being received on 11 March 2026. This may be an incomplete picture of casualties due to a slight lag between collisions occurring and the data being processed and shared by Police Scotland. These figures are also subject to change due to subsequent corrections and late records.
