First picture of Scots nursery worker, 26, who died in 'head-on' horror smash

The victim of a fatal road crash in Fife earlier this week has been named as Lisa Scott, 26.

Ms Scott, from Perth, died following a horrific crash between her red Ford Focus and a blue Jaguar I-Pace shortly before 4pm on Monday September 26 on the A914 near Pickletillum, Fife. Locals had described the collision as "head-on", and Ms Scott was pronounced dead at the scene.

A statement released by Perth undertakers James Carcary paid tribute to the "beloved" 26-year-old, who is reported to have worked as an early years practitioner for Perth and Kinross Council. Many of the comments left on the funeral directors' social media page came from parents of children she had looked after.

The statement read: "It is with the heaviest of hearts we intimate that our beloved Lisa, aged 26, was tragically taken from us, the result of a tragic accident, on Monday, 26th September 2022. Devoted and dearly loved daughter of Maureen and the late Graham, loving niece of Ann and Ed, much loved cousin of Scott and Marc, a special and fun loving “Auntie Lisa” to Leah, Lucy, Mirren and Chloe and niece of Nan.

"Lisa will be so very much missed by her wider family, many friends, work colleagues and her faithful little companion, Millie-Moo. Funeral arrangements to follow."

One local said: "My daughter loved Miss Scott at nursery. Horrible news. Lovely lady."

Another wrote: "So sad to hear this news this morning. Girls loved Lisa with all their heart. They were very close to Lisa. They will miss you lots."

A third added: "So shocked and so sad - she had an absolute heart of gold. Thinking of Lisa's family at such a sad time."

Police are continuing to appeal for information over the crash. Three people travelling in the Jaguar were taken to Ninewells Hospital in Dundee to be treated for minor injuries.

Sergeant Steve Livesey, of Tayside Road Policing Unit, said earlier this week: “Our enquiries into this incident are continuing to establish the full circumstances of what happened and our thoughts are with the family and friends of the female driver.

“I would appeal to anyone who saw what happened, or has relevant dash cam footage, to please get in touch.”

Anyone with information is urged to contact Police Scotland by calling 101 and quoting reference 2262 of Monday, 26 September, 2022.
