'Amazing' young mum killed in horror crash that put 2 kids and 2 men in hospital

A young mum killed in a crash which left two men and two children in hospital has been described as an "amazing woman and mother".

Rebecca Tasker, 32, died following the single-car collision on the A90 near Errol in Perth and Kinross, in Scotland, at around 11am on Friday.

Among the other injured occupants of the black Nissan Micra car were a seven-year-old girl, a 10-year-old boy and two men, aged 20 and 29.

They were all taken to Ninewells Hospital in Dundee for treatment and their condition is unknown, the Daily Record reports.

Emergency crews, including paramedics, arrived at the scene and tried to rescue Ms Tasker, who was a passenger in the car, but she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Tributes have poured in for the young mum, including cousin Alana Dempster who changed her Facebook profile picture to a photo of Ms Tasker.

“My heart is broken," she said.

Charlotte Cassidy, friend of Ms Tasker, wrote: "They say there’s a God and to believe in faith. Well sorry but I’m struggling here.

"First you’ve taken away my Julie McIntosh and now you’ve taken away my other absolute best friend since school Rebecca Tasker, just absolutely broken.

"Can’t believe life can be this cruel. Both with children too."

The road was closed for around six hours while emergency services carried out their investigation.

Tributes continued from Shellie Lyon, who said: “She was amazing and will be missed loads. Such an amazing woman and mother gone far too soon.”

Hayley Milne commented: “Such a shame thoughts are with her family and those wee kiddies! She was such a funny wee character.”

Stephanie Orr said: “She was my first friend when I moved here all those years ago. She will be missed by many. I’m going to miss her so so much.”

Danielle Finn said: “Absolutely devastated getting this news today, you will be missed.”

Stacey Fergusson said: “Heartbreaking news, in total shock," while Caitlin McGrath added: “You’ll be sorely missed.”

Lucy Joanne Donaldson said: “She was so funny," and Michelle Stewart added: “You were a lovely young woman. You will be missed. RIP.”

Police Sergeant Strachan of the Road Policing Unit said : “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the deceased at this difficult time.

“We are conducting extensive enquiries into the circumstances of this incident and are appealing for anyone with information to come forward.

“I would ask anyone who may have witnessed the collision, or who may have dash-cam footage to contact us as soon as possible.

“I would like to thank members of the public for their patience while we carried out our investigation into this serious collision.”

Anyone who witnessed the incident is asked to call Police Scotland on 101, quoting 1349 of August 11.
