Tributes have been paid to a local mother and daughter who died in a crash on the A9 in the Highlands last Tuesday. Abigail Houston, 42, and seven-year-old Mia, who lived in Trinity, died when their Audi A4 that was involved in a collision with a Jeep Cherokee at Kingussie.
Mrs Houston’s husband and their other young daughter were injured and have been receiving treatment at Raigmore Hospital in Inverness.
The family asked that the following statement be released on their behalf:
“It is incredibly difficult to find the words to express the loss that we are feeling. Abigail was such a bright and vivacious woman who lived life to the full, adored her family and was greatly fulfilled through her work as a Paediatric Occupational Therapist. Mia was a delightful and beautiful little girl who enjoyed school and activities but most of all loved her family and friends. We ask that our privacy be respected so that we can focus on the recuperation of Mia’s sister and come to terms with our loss in peace.”
A man in the Jeep was also killed. Police Scotland has still to release his name.
