A woman who was killed in a car crash had been on her way home from her son's wedding, police have confirmed.
Mary Laurie, also known as Marie, from Easterhouse, Glasgow, was returning from the celebrations on Sunday morning when the taxi she was travelling in was struck by a green Vauxhall Astra at traffic lights at the junction of Stepps Road and Springboig Road.
Emergency services attended but Mrs Laurie died at the scene.
In a statement, her relatives said: "She will be sadly missed by all the family."
A 52-year-old man, who was also a passenger in the taxi, was taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary where he is said to be in a serious but stable condition.
The 50-year-old taxi driver suffered minor injuries, as did the 20-year-old male driver of the Vauxhall and his 16-year-old female passenger.
Police have confirmed that at the time of the incident the car involved was being followed by a force vehicle.
The Vauxhall had been in Glasgow's Springhill Industrial Estate when it was signalled to stop by a marked police van at around 1.30am on Sunday.
When the car failed to do so, officers switched on their van's blue lights and followed the vehicle, signalling that they wanted it to stop.
The car drove along Edinburgh Road and was then involved in the collision.
Police said a 20-year-old man will be the subject of a report to the procurator fiscal in connection with alleged road traffic offences.
The force added that the matter has been referred to the Police Investigations and Review Commissioner, as is "standard procedure".
