Police are appealing for witnesses after a fatal road collision involving four cars between Lauder and Greenlaw yesterday afternoon.
A 59-year-old man died in the crash and three others were injured at around 3.30pm on the A697 road at the hamlet of Houndslow.
The man who died was driving a Kia Sorento northbound, when he was in collision with a Vauxhall Combo van, which was travelling southbound. The Kia Sorento then crashed into a Vauxhall Vectra, also travelling southbound.
