FINAVON ACCIDENT VICTIM NAMED

A 38-year-old woman who died after the maroon-coloured Ford Fiesta she was a passenger in was involved in a collision on the A90 north of Finavon in Angus on Wednesday has been formally identified.

She has been named as Limi Sharmeen Mostafa of Great Western Road, Aberdeen.

The one vehicle collision happened at about 3.40 pm near to Noranbank Farm.

Emergency services were quickly at the scene but tragically Mrs Mostafa was declared dead at the scene.

Three other people, her 44-year-old husband and their two children - girls aged ten and three-years-old - were also in the vehicle. They were taken by ambulance to Ninewells Hospital in Dundee following the collision.

The man was treated for minor injuries and released. The ten year-old girl is described as being stable in hospital having sustained internal injuries and the three-year-old is serious but stable having suffered head injuries.

No other vehicles were involved in the collision, which resulted in the closure of the southbound carriageway and significant tailbacks in both directions.

Crash investigators attended and enquiries into the full set of circumstances surrounding the incident are continuing. A full report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal in due course.

Tayside Police would appeal for anyone who saw the maroon-coloured Ford Fiesta prior to the collision, or who witnessed the incident itself to contact 0300 111 2222, or speak to any officer.
