Lewis Campbell from Cumnock was pronounced dead at the scene of the Boig Road crash at around 6pm last night.
Six others were taken to hospital following the fatal collision between two cars.
Lewis was a passenger in a Peuguot 208 driven by an 18-year-old boy with an 18-year-old girl and 19-year-old boy also among the passengers. All of them were taken to Crosshouse Hospital.
