Fundraiser started for family of West Lothian woman, 37, killed in Bathgate crash involving three cars and two motorbikes

Fiona Reid, from Seafield in West Lothian, died following a collision on the A7066 road at about 4:30pm on Monday, July 6 - and police have appealed for witnesses and anyone with dash-cam footage to come forward.

She was the driver of one of the cars and died in hospital on Tuesday, July 8th.

Fiona was described by her heartbroken family as a "beautiful, caring" woman who was loved by many people.

The family also thanked emergency services and motorists at the scene who assisted her.

Now, a GoFundMe online fundraising page has been set up by her close friend, Lynsey Tan, to help her family through this difficult time.

A message on the website reads: "My dear friend Fiona Reid was taken from her family on Monday 6th July in a tragic car crash in Bathgate, West Lothian.

"She left this world leaving a caring husband Robbie and a daughter age 7 Olivia.

"Fiona was a gorgeous person inside and out and loved her family more than anything. I would like to fundraise to help lighten the load for Robbie and to help with Olivia."

The fundraising page was created a day ago and has already raised more than £4,100.
