Tributes have been paid to an “adored grandmother” who died in a crash on the A75 in Dumfries and Galloway.

Judith Molloy, 76, died in a crash on the Gretna to Stranraer road near Skyreburn around 11.20pm on Wednesday involving a red Suzuki Ignis and a white Peugeot Partner van.

Ms Molloy, a passenger in the Suzuki, was taken to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow where she died.

Her family has released a tribute through Police Scotland, reading: “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.

“We will miss her every single day.”

The driver of the Suzuki, a 74-year-old man, was not injured.

The Peugeot Partner’s driver and passenger, a 70-year-old man and a 70-year-old woman, were taken to Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary for treatment.
