A great-grandmother who died in a car crash in Larbert, Falkirk, has been described as “much loved” by her grieving family.

“The family would like to thank family, friends and members of the public for their condolences and messages of support at this difficult time.”

“Inquiries into the incident remain ongoing and we are appealing for anyone who was in the area, and who witnessed the crash, to please get in touch.
