New photo issued of man missing after car crash

A new photograph has been issued by police searching for a missing man who may have been injured in a car crash in the Scottish Borders four days ago.

Shane Donnelly, 26, is thought to have been the driver of one of the cars involved in a crash on the A7 north of Selkirk at about 19:10 on Tuesday.

He was not at the scene, near the Lindean junction, when police arrived and, despite a police search using a helicopter and dogs, he has not been found.

Officers have urged him to make contact so that they know he is safe.

Mr Donnelly, from Galashiels, is also known by the surname Barr.

He is described as 6ft tall, with brown hair and facial hair, and blue eyes.

Police had previously issued an image of him wearing a baseball cap.

The woman driving the other car involved was taken to Borders General Hospital by ambulance for treatment.

Insp Colin Deans said: "Searches led by specialist search advisers are ongoing to trace him.

"Local officers have been assisted by resources including police dogs and the helicopter.

"Shane may have been injured in the crash so we remain concerned for his welfare. We want to trace him as soon as possible to ensure that he is safe and well.

"He has links throughout the Scottish Borders and we are carrying out inquiries in a number of areas.

"He may have taken shelter and we ask anyone with sheds or outbuildings to please check them."

Anyone who has seen Mr Donnelly is urged to contact Police Scotland using the 101 non-emergency number.

"I would also re-appeal to Shane directly, if he sees this appeal, to please let us know you are safe and well," said Insp Deans.
