A Scots pensioner who died after being struck by a car has been pictured as her “devastated” family pay tribute to their “lovely grandma”.
Maureen Davidson was described as being in “great health” before she died 15 days after being hit by a car on Whinhill Road at Fonthill Terrace, Aberdeen, at around 11.20am on Friday, December 6. The 83-year-old was rushed to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary where she died on Saturday, December 21.
She had just attended her line dancing class and had planned to return to attend Zumba before the crash. As enquiries remain ongoing into the circumstances of the crash, her family has released the following statement: “We are devastated by the tragic loss of our lovely mother and grandma passing on the 21st of December.
“Before the accident she was in great health and lived independently with a buzzing social life and a popular lady enjoying meals out with her friends, bingo and dancing. On the day it happened, she had just been to her line dancing class and was away out to town expecting to return for Zumba at 3pm.”
Her granddaughter wrote: “For those that haven’t met her, my grandma is one of the sweetest, kindest and most resilient people you could ever meet. She was also very funny and had a great sense of humour and outlook on life. She was like a parent to me, and I’m forever grateful to have had her in my life.
“The family would like to thank our friends and relatives who have offered us so much kindness and support throughout the last fortnight.”
Road Policing Sergeant Alexander Bowser-Riley said: “Our thoughts are with Maureen’s family and friends and everyone affected by this incident. Officers will continue to support the family as our enquiries progress. I would appeal to anyone who saw what happened or has any information, and has not already spoken to police, to please get in touch.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 1126 of Friday, December 6, 2024.
