A 16-year-old girl who was killed in a horrific motorway crash last week has been named as Sophie Laing.
The Cumbernauld teenager was a passenger in the rear of a car that collided with another vehicle on the M73 near the Gartcosh Junction on Saturday January 28 at around 1.30pm. She and the 62-year-old male driver of the vehicle were both rushed to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow following the smash.
Sadly, she could not be saved and later died of her injuries. A 42-year-old man was arrested in connection with a road traffic offence and has since been released pending further enquiries.
