A joint statement said: “We are devastated by the loss of Georgia and Andrew, they will be sorely missed by all who knew them. We ask for our privacy to be respected at this difficult time.”
Sergeant Barry Sommerville said: “Our thoughts remain with the family and friends of the three people who died.
“Our enquiries are ongoing and we continue to appeal for anyone with information that could help to please get in touch."
The third victim of the crash has now also been named as 37-year-old Jason Gibbon, from Northumberland.
His family said: "We are devastated of the loss of a much loved son, brother, uncle, boyfriend and devoted friend to many. He will be greatly, sadly missed. We are comforted by the messages from many. We would like to ask for privacy to allow the family to grieve at this very difficult time."
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.

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.
