Pedestrian, 52, dies after being struck by car

A woman who was hit by a car on the A93 in Aberdeenshire last month has died in hospital, police said.

Tracey Ann Giles, 52, was critically injured on the Aberdeen to Banchory road, near Milton of Crathes, on Sunday 24 March.

Ms Giles, from the Aboyne area, was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary but died on Saturday.

Her sister said in a statement: "Tracey will be much missed by everyone who knew her. We would like to thank everyone who was there on the night and helped."

Sgt Peter Henderson said: “Our thoughts are with the family of the woman who has died and everyone involved at what is a very difficult time for them.

“Inquiries are continuing to establish the full circumstances and anyone who has not already spoken to officers and who can assist is asked to call Police Scotland."
