A MAN expected in court over the death of a teenager hit by a car has been released pending further investigation.

A man arrested on Thursday was expected to appear at Ayr Sheriff Court yesterday but did not. A Crown Office spokesman said: “After full and careful consideration by the procurator fiscal, the individual was liberated, pending further investigation, and did not appear in court.”
