The mum of a Lanarkshire teen killed alongside her boyfriend in a horror crash is begging motorists not to speed as it "tears families apart".
Jane Gilbert, 16, and Graham Mathie, 21, died when Graham's Mitsubishi Evolution careered into a wall on the B7078 in Lesmahagow, South Lanarkshire, back in July 2013.
Now, Jane's grieving mum, Beth Gilbert, has spoken out on the tragedy in a heart-wrenching video.
The clip has been released as part of Road Safety Scotland's latest safety campaign.
Beth claims Graham was speeding right before he and her daughter were killed.
Holding back the tears the mum-of-one said: "My daughter Jane was only 16 when she was killed.
"She went away one night and never came back.
"Her driver was actually speeding which resulted in them going across the road and hitting a barrier and both of them were killed instantly."

Beth added: "Jane was my one and only child.
"She was my only family.
"You never, ever dream of thinking that you're going to lose your child.
"You always think that you're going to go before them.

"Please watch your speed, no matter where or when, just watch your speed," she said.
"Because it does kill and it really does tear families apart."
Known locally as Park’s Corner, the notorious bend witnessed a number of accidents over the years.
