A young woman lost her life following a road crash between Coupar Angus and Forfar at the weekend.
Road policing officers in Tayside have appealed for witnesses in the aftermath of the fatal collision on the A94 near Ardler.
The incident happened around 5.15pm on Sunday when a blue Vauxhall Corsa was driving eastbound when it left the road and struck a tree.
The 23-year-old female passenger was pronounced dead at the scene.

“If you were in the area and witnessed the crash, or have any potential dashcam footage which could assist our investigation, please call police on 101, quoting incident 2992 of August 22.”
