Family pay tribute to teenager killed in Aberdeenshire car crash

THE parents of a teenager who was killed last week when her car left the road and hit a tree in Aberdeenshire have paid tribute to their “precious and cherished” daughter.

Zoe Dunn, 18, from Aboyne, died after her Renault Clio crashed on the B9077 South Deeside Road on Thursday.

The one-vehicle accident happened between the Bridge of Feugh and Durris, near Banchory.

Her parents Stephen and Debbie Dunn said in a statement, issued by Grampian Police: “An immense sadness is overwhelming the family at this time.

“Zoe had everything to live for and had planned and successfully been accepted to begin college in September to follow her dream to become a nurse. A hard working young girl, preparing her for her role as a nurse by working at Allachburn Care Home. She enjoyed her time working at the After School Club having fun helping the children out.”

The statement continued: “Zoe had a love for life and shared her time with lots of friends and her long standing boyfriend Scott Inglis, who she loved dearly. Many happy hours they spent together.

“Zoe grew up with a love for animals, especially her dog, Maya and caring for the horses, Cassie and Pixie.

“The family would like to extend their thanks for all the comfort and support they have received.”
