Jordan paid tribute to his sister who was described as 'funny, kind and said.

He said: "Our Jasmine was tragically taken from us by a fatal car crash over the weekend.

"This was so unexpected and it has left a huge hole in all our hearts.

"Our family, friends and everyone who knew Jasmine are utterly devastated.  

"She was only 19 and had her whole life ahead of her.

"She was funny, kind and a little bit bonkers which she was absolutely adored for.

"Everyone who knew Jasmine will know she had an amazing spirit and she deserves the best care after life.

"So I'm hoping we can all pull together and raise funds to give our special girl the best send of possible."

Jasmine's sister, Jade shared a link to the online fundraiser on social media.

She wrote: "I wouldn't expect a penny off anyone but the slightest bit of generosity will go a long way for her (Jasmine).

"No one expects to bury someone of such a young age.

"Unfortunately we are left to deal with this due to this fatal crash.

We appreciate any help at all."

Meanwhile a friend of Jonathan Graham, who leaves behind a wife and three young boys, was hailed for having 'such a big heart'.

Martin McKillop posted on Facebook: "Will miss you every day Jonathan Graham.

"It will be hard to find another man of your character or another man with such a big heart."

It's believed the people in the car were travelling home from a party before the accident.

Police are speaking to witnesses and appealing for anyone with information to come forward.

Sergeant Paul MacPherson, of Police Scotland’s Road Policing Unit, said: “Our thoughts remain with the families of both Jasmine and Jonathan at this difficult time.

“Our investigation into the circumstances surrounding the collision continues and we are speaking with witnesses.

“Anyone with information can contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident 1164 of 26 January.”
