Police appeal for information following fatal road crash on A1

Road Police officers are appealing for information following a fatal crash in East Lothian.

Around 3.05pm on Sunday (15 October 2023), emergency services were called to the A1 between Dunbar and Cockburnspath following a crash between a silver Nissan Pixo and a silver Volkswagen Passat.

The driver of the Nissan, 87-year-old John Paul from Duns, was taken to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, where he died earlier today (Tuesday, 17 October).

Sergeant Barry Sommerville said: “Our thoughts and condolences are with John’s family at this difficult time. Enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances surrounding the collision.

“Our enquiries are ongoing and we are appealing for anyone who witnessed the incident and who hasn’t already spoken to officers to get in touch.

“I would also appeal to anyone who was in the area around the time and who may have dash-cam footage which could assist to contact us.”
