A woman is in a critical condition in hospital after she is believed to have fallen from a moving vehicle in Dumfries and Galloway.

Officers are appealing for information after the 48-year-old was found on the A701 at St Ann's at 01:45 on Saturday.

She was taken to Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary for treatment.

Police said inquiries were ongoing to establish the full circumstances and urged anyone with dash-cam footage of the area to contact them.
