Sophie Laing tragically passed away after being involved in a collision on January 28 that also left a 62-year-old male driver injured.
A 16-year-old girl who died following a crash on the M73 has been described as "the sweetest, most caring person" by her loved ones.
"Sophie was from Cumbernauld, attended Greenfaulds High School and recently started a course in hairdressing at New College Lanarkshire . Something she was very passionate about. She was the sweetest, most caring person who loved nothing more than caring for her family and spending time with her niece, family and her friends.
He added: "It's heart-wrenching to know that Sophie won't be able to celebrate big birthday milestones, be able to walk down the aisle to get married or even be able to have her first child as she gets older.
