The tragic deaths of a couple who lay undiscovered following a horror crash on the M9 are to be probed on the orders of the Lord Advocate.
Lamara Bell, 25, and John Yuill, 28, died after their car left the motorway near Stirling and careered down an embankment. Despite a call to Police Scotland, it took three days for the force to respond to the accident in July, 2015.
When officers finally arrived at the scene, they found Yuill dead while Bell passed away four days later in hospital. The Lord Advocate Dorothy Bain KC has now ordered a fatal accident inquiry be held into the deaths at Stirling Sheriff Court - more than seven years after the crash.
