A 16-year-old who died in hospital after a crash in the Highlands “will remain eternally loved”, his family have said.
The collision involved a white Audi Q3 on the A82 at Kirkton, near Lochend, Inverness, on Thursday.
Edward Bush, from Henley-on-Thames, was taken to hospital where Police Scotland have now confirmed he has died.
His family released the following statement: “Edward will be missed so much by so many, as he was a truly outstanding young man with such an incredible and bright future ahead of him.
“He will never be forgotten and will remain eternally loved and adored by his brothers, parents, family, and friends.”
A 16-year-old girl also involved in the incident remains in hospital in a critical condition.
Another 16-year-old girl, who had also been taken to hospital at the time, has been discharged.
Road Policing Sergeant Angus Macleod said: “Our inquiries into this fatal crash are ongoing and it’s important we establish exactly what happened.
“I would urge anyone who may have witnessed the crash but has not yet spoken to police to come forward.
“I am particularly keen to speak to anyone who may have dashcam footage which could help with our investigation.”
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
