A teenager who died after his car left the road has been named by police as Jay Morrison as friends paid tribute online to “the most kind-hearted person”.
The 19-year-old, from Barrhead, East Renfrewshire, was driving a red Vauxhall Corsa last Friday at around 11.35pm on Nitshill Road in Glasgow’s south west.
He was rushed to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital with severe injuries after the incident near to the junction with Levern Bridge Road.
But he died in the early hours of Saturday.
Friends posted tributes to the teenager on Facebook, with one writing: “I’ve never experienced pain and hurt like this in my life. We love you more than you’ll ever know.”
Another wrote: “I am still lost for words. I’ll never get over that you’re gone.”
Sergeant Kenny Malaney, of Police Scotland’s Glasgow Road Policing Unit, said: “Our thoughts remain with the family and friends of Mr Morrison at this difficult time.
“Our inquiries into the circumstances of the crash remain ongoing and anyone with any information is asked to contact police on 101 quoting incident number 4182 of Friday, 17 September, 2021.”
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
