A SCOTTISH woman who was rushed to hospital after a life-threatening crash on an Aberdeenshire road has died, police have announced.
Officers named 52-year-old Tracey Ann Giles as the victim in the incident which happened on Sunday, March 24 on the A93 Aberdeen to Braemar road.
Police said that Giles, a pedestrian, was hit by a white Renault Twingo at around 7.20pm near Milton of Crathes before being taken to the Aberdeen Royal Infirmary.
Giles, who was from the Aboyne area, died in hospital on Saturday, March 30.
In a statement issued through Police Scotland, her sister said: “Tracey will be much missed by everyone who knew her.
“We would like to thank everyone who was there on the night and helped Tracey.
“We are forever grateful to whoever went to get the defibrillator for her and to the medical staff who have showed compassion and kindness in caring for Tracey and looking after me during this difficult time.
“We are still trying to come to terms with what has happened and we are asking for privacy at this time.”
Road Policing Sergeant Peter Henderson said: “Our thoughts are with the family of the woman who has died and everyone involved at what is a very difficult time for them.
“Enquiries are continuing to establish the full circumstances and anyone who has not already spoken to officers and who can assist is asked to call Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 2979 of Sunday, 24 March, 2024.”
Police said no one else was injured in the incident.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
