Church sued over fatal crash

The Free Church of Scotland is to be sued in a South American court after two Peruvian teenage boys were killed in a car crash while in the Church’s care on a school trip to the Highlands.

Donald MacLeod, 82, was driving the Honda CRV in which all three died when it crashed into a parked lorry in Inverness in 2006.

It was reported the Free Kirk member, a former rector of Fortrose Academy who lived in Inverness, had a heart attack at the wheel.
