The family of a pensioner who died in a late-night horror crash on a Scots road has said they are "devastated" by the loss of their "much loved dad, papa and friend".
Michael McManamon, from Glasgow, was pronounced dead at the scene of the incident involving a Mercedes C220 and a Ford Mondeo on Friday November 28.
It happened around 11.50pm on Mill Street at the junction with Kings Park Avenue in Rutherglen, South Lanarkshire.
The 73-year-old was a passenger in the Mercedes and the 80-year-old male driver was rushed to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in nearby Glasgow. Unfortunately, he died there a short time later.
The 34-year-old male driver of the Ford Mondeo was uninjured and has been arrested in connection with the incident.
Mr McManamon’s family said: "We are devastated at the loss of our much loved dad, papa and friend.
"He will be sorely missed but we are comforted by the messages from the community, who valued his help and friendship over the many years".
Sergeant Gemma Blackadder, Lanarkshire Road Policing Unit, said: “Our thoughts remain with both deceased’s family and friends.
“Our enquiries are continuing to establish the full circumstances and I would urge anyone who may be able to help and who hasn’t yet spoken to police to get in touch.
“Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101, quoting incident number 4274 of 18 November, 2022.”
