POLICE are this morning trying to trace a man who has gone missing following a car crash in which the vehicle caught fire.

The 29-year-old Greenock man's car came off the road on Kilmacolm Road, between Knocknairshill Cemtery and the viewpoint.

A police spokesman said: "We are concerned for Mr Donnelly's wellbeing."

If you can help, call the non-emergency 101 number.
