THE partner of a mother- of-two killed while out on her motorbike on a country road has spoken of his devastation.
Lynsey Cargill, 35, suffered head, pelvic and lower limb injuries after her MZ motorcycle collided with a silver Ford Focus on the B954 Meigle to Dundee road south of Auchterhouse, near Dundee, on Thursday afternoon.
She was rushed to Ninewells Hospital in Dundee by an ambulance under police escort at around 4.10pm on Thursday.
Ms Cargill, of Johnshaven, Aberdeenshire, was treated in the hospital's intensive care unit but died late on Friday night.
It is understood she is survived by her partner, Greig Martin, and two children.
Paying tribute on Facebook, Mr Martin wrote: "This has to be one of the most devastating days of my life! My girl has passed away, I will miss you and love you till the day I die!
"I love you so much babe. Sleep tight, the angels are with you now."
Friends described her as a "beautiful, caring mum". Pat McLemon said: "One of the most beautiful people I have met. A lovely, vibrant, fun loving, caring mum. Totally gutted at this news, she will be so sadly missed."
Paula Beveridge added: "So very sad and hard to believe we won't see your beautiful smile again. Sleep tight."
The driver and passenger in the Ford Focus were not injured in the accident.
A spokesman for Police Scotland's Tayside Division said they were still trying to trace witnesses and he appealed for anyone who saw the collision to contact them.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
