Scots college head dies in motorway horror during Slovenia study trip

The head of a Scottish college faculty has died in a motorway crash during a study visit to Slovenia.

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

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

They were all thought to be passengers in the same vehicle.

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