Judith Molloy's family say they will miss her 'every single day'

A grieving family has said their lives have been forever changed by the death of their grandmother, who was injured in a car crash in the south of Scotland.

Judith Molloy, 76, was a passenger in a Suzuki Ignis that crashed with a Peugeot van on the A75 near Skyreburn at about 11:20 on Wednesday.

She was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow where she later died.

In a statement released through Police Scotland, her family said they would miss her "every single day".

It said: "Judith was an adored wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother and she leaves behind family and many friends whose lives will never be the same."

The driver and passenger of the van were taken to Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary and have since been discharged.

The driver of the car was not hurt.

PC Luke Bell said police were still looking for witnesses to the crash and urged anyone with information to contact the non-emergency line.
