M9 crash couple: Investigation into police procedures

An investigation has been launched after a dead man and a critically injured woman were found in a crashed car three days after the accident was reported to police.

Police Scotland found John Yuill and Lamara Bell just off the M9, near Stirling, on Wednesday.

The crash was reported to them on Sunday morning but had not been followed up, despite the couple being reported missing by family.

Speaking as the MSP for Falkirk West, Justice Secretary Michael Matheson told BBC Scotland that an investigation had begun into how the initial call was handled.
