Anne Porter: Senior college lecturer killed in Slovenia motorway crash

A senior college lecturer has been killed in a car crash during a study trip to Slovenia.

Anne Porter, believed to be 52, died in the motorway crash involving three vehicles near the capital city Ljubljana on Wednesday morning.

Mrs Porter was head of faculty for engineering, construction and science at Glasgow Kelvin College.

A statement from the college said: "The college can confirm that tragically a member of our staff has died following a motor vehicle accident on a study visit to Slovenia.

"All at the college are shocked and saddened by this tragic event.

"Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with Anne's family and friends."

Four other people, including at least two from Scottish colleges, were injured and taken to a nearby hospital after the incident.

They were all thought to be passengers in the same vehicle and two members of staff from New College Lanarkshire were among the injured.

A spokeswoman said: "Two members of staff from New College Lanarkshire participating in a study visit to Slovenia were hurt and required medical treatment yesterday when the vehicle in which they were travelling was hit by another vehicle while stationary in traffic.

"We are providing ongoing support to them and their families."

The cause of the crash is being investigated by prosecutors in Slovenia.
