A 62-year-old pedestrian who died in a crash while on a night out in Edinburgh has been named by Police Scotland.
Local resident Suzanne Farrell died following a collision involving a silver Vauxhall Zafira on Marionville Road at about 10.50pm on Friday.
She was taken to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, where she died shortly after.
Ms Farrell’s family issued a statement through Police Scotland following her death.
Her daughter, Kerryann Hutchison, said: “My mum was honestly the sweetest, kindest, most loving, caring, gentle and beautiful soul, and enjoying life.
“She is sorely missed by everyone who knew her.
“I am broken by what has happened, as are the rest of the family and all friends who knew her.
“I would like to say thank you to the staff and customers of The Hoppy bar, where she had been that night, for their help and support.
“I could not have coped without them. And a thank you to the emergency services.”
A 33-year-old man was arrested in connection with the incident, but released pending further investigation.
A police spokesperson said anyone with information, who has not already spoken to officers, should call police on 101, quoting incident number 4131 of Friday, 6 May 2022.
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
