Appeal launched following Bishopton collision
Police have issued an appeal for information after a grey Nissan Juke reportedly collided with a group of motorcyclists on Greenock Road, Bishopton, before leaving the scene. The incident happened at about 1.30pm on Saturday, with officers confirming that no serious injuries were recorded.
Detectives are seeking witnesses and motorists with dashcams who were in the area at the time to assist ongoing enquiries. The vehicle involved is said to have driven off ahead of police arriving, and efforts are under way to trace those connected with the crash.
Witnesses and dashcam owners urged to come forward
Officers emphasised that even brief footage or partial observations could prove vital in piecing together the moments before and after the collision. Anyone who saw a grey Nissan Juke in Bishopton around the time of the incident, or who noticed unusual driving behaviour nearby, is encouraged to contact Police Scotland.
Detective Sergeant Kenny McLachlan said: “Luckily no one was seriously injured during this incident, and our enquiries are ongoing to trace those involved. I am appealing to anyone who witnessed the crash or saw the vehicle prior to get in contact with officers. I’d also ask that those driving in the area at the time with a dash-cam review the footage to see if it has captured anything that could assist with our investigation.”

- If you witnessed the collision or saw the vehicle beforehand, take a note of the time, place and anything distinctive you observed.
- Drivers with dashcams who travelled along Greenock Road or nearby routes around 1.30pm should save their files and check for relevant footage.
- If you have already shared images or clips on social media, police still ask that you make direct contact so they can obtain the original file.
Local context and reassurance
Greenock Road is a key route through Bishopton used by local traffic and riders heading between communities in Renfrewshire and beyond. While collisions involving multiple road users can cause understandable concern, officers said there were no reports of life‑threatening injuries in this case. The appeal now focuses on establishing the full circumstances and identifying those involved as quickly as possible.
Police regularly highlight the value of dashcam submissions in progressing investigations. Even short clips showing a vehicle’s direction of travel, proximity to junctions or distinguishing marks can make a difference when cross‑referenced with other evidence. Residents and road users who were in the area shortly before or after the reported time are therefore urged to review footage recorded on Saturday 11 July.
Anyone who has information but is unsure if it is relevant is advised to get in touch regardless; officers can assess detail and determine its evidential value. Where appropriate, callers may be directed to upload images or video via secure channels, after quoting the specified incident number.
Police Scotland’s appeal remains live as enquiries continue. Further updates may be provided once officers have reviewed public responses and any digital evidence submitted.
