Tributes paid to 'funniest, bubbliest and kindest' Dundee mum following fatal crash
Police have named a 41-year-old woman who died after the car she was a passenger in left the road and crashed down an embankment by the A1 at Berwick last week.
Jade Duncan, who was from Dundee, has been described as the “funniest, bubbliest and kindest” mum, by her heartbroken family.
Police are appealing for anyone who saw the black Peugeot 407 Coupe travelling between Scotland and England, in the lead up to the incident last Wednesday, to contact them.
The tragedy unfolded at the Highfields roundabout, near to the junction with the A1167 North Road, around 8.40pm on January 28th.
The driver of the car - a man in his 40s - was taken to hospital where he remains in a critical but stable condition.

Paying tribute to Jade, a statement released by her family, this afternoon said: “To the world, she was a mother but to our family she was our world, we love you so much and always will. We will forever cherish the memories we have.
“You were the funniest, bubbliest and kindest woman.
“Mum, you lit up the room everywhere you went and touched many hearts along the way – you will be missed beyond words can describe.
“Fly high Mum, love Robbie, Darren, Raychel and your much-loved grandchildren.”
Police say investigations into the crash are ongoing and officers want to speak to drivers travelling between Dundee and Berwick, between 2pm and 8.40pm that day, who may have CCTV or dashcam footage which can help.
