Tributes paid to 'angel' Scots teenager who died after being hit by car on Glasgow road

Tributes have been paid to a 'perfect angel' teenager who was killed when she was knocked down by a car in Glasgow.

Locally named Sophie Geddes, 16, died after she was struck by a vehicle in the city's Great Western Road around 7.45pm on Saturday night.

Mercy crews battled to save the popular schoolgirl, who was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, but she tragically passed away a short time later.

Devastated friends and family have paid tribute to the teenager who was described as 'the most caring girl'.

One heartbroken relative said:  “My perfect big cousin, taken far too soon. Fly high my gorgeous."

A devastated friend wrote: "My heart is in pieces. Never in a million years I thought I'd be writing about one of the girls, losing their precious life.

A section of the road was closed off following the horror crash as cops probed the scene.

Police have appealed for witnesses to come forward or drivers with dashcam footage who were in the area at the time.

"We are especially keen to hear from anyone who may have dash-cam footage as this could be very helpful to our investigation.
