Monday, 18 September 2023 08:51

A fatal accident inquiry into the deaths of two people, who died after a crash on the M9 near Stirling, is to begin today.

John Yuill and Lamara Bell died after their car came off the road in July 2015.

It took officers three days to visit the scene of the crash.

The family of Lamara Bell has been given more than £1 million in compensation from Police Scotland.

The force was also fined £100,000 last year after it pleaded guilty to health and safety failings which "materially contributed" to her death.
