23-year-old woman killed in motorbike crash on Scottish road

A 23-YEAR-OLD woman killed in a motorbike crash on a Scottish road has been named as Natalia Salajska.

Her family paid tribute to a “beloved granddaughter, a proud step-sister, a soul mate, a source of pride, and an amazing friend” after Police Scotland officially named Salajska on Thursday.

The 23-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene after a crash between her green Kawasaki EX400 motorbike and a blue Citroen C1 car on the A803 at Linlithgow Bridge on Friday, September 19.

In a statement issued through Police Scotland, her family said: “It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our daughter, Natalia Salajska, who tragically lost her life on 19.09.25.

“She was just 23, full of promise and deeply loved.

“Natalia was an intelligent, vibrant young woman with an extraordinary passion for life. She was fearless in being true to herself and inspired everyone around her with her sharp mind, dedication, and spark.

“To her family and friends, she was not only a daughter but also a beloved granddaughter, a proud step-sister, a soul mate, a source of pride, and an amazing friend.

"We are grateful for the outpouring of love, kindness, and support at this difficult time."

Sergeant Louise Beale, from the Road Policing Unit in Stirling, said: “Our thoughts remain with the family and friends of Natalia at this difficult time, and we will continue to offer them support.

“Enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances, and I would again appeal to anyone who has not already spoken to officers to come forward if they have any information that could assist with our enquiries.”

Anyone with information is asked to call Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 3567 of 19 September, 2025.
