Two men have been arrested over the death of a teenage girl in an alleged hit-and-run in Paisley.

Robyn Fryar, 15, was crossing Glenburn Road, near Fereneze Drive, with friends at about 02:00 when she was struck by a car.

She was rushed to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow by ambulance but died a short time later.

Officers confirmed two men, both age 20, have been arrested and charged over the fatal crash.

They are due to appear at Paisley Sheriff Court later.

Head teacher Kevin Henry, of St Andrew's Academy where Robyn attended, said: "The whole school community is saddened by Robyn's passing and our thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends at this very difficult time.

"Robyn was friendly, vibrant and considerate. She was a bright girl, highly-motivated and hard-working. She had an infectious enthusiasm in her school work and with her friends.

"She had a strong sense of social justice and loyalty which made her popular with all. She was a pleasure to teach and valued by her classmates, teachers and the wider S5 and school community. She will be remembered with great affection."

"Road safety is of course of paramount importance to us. Currently the incident is subject to a police investigation - but as with all incidents we will consider any measures that could enhance road safety once the results and any recommendations from that are known."
