Aberdeenshire crash victim awarded £1m damages
A woman who was seriously injured when she was hit by a car a decade ago will receive damages of more than £1m following a lengthy court battle.
Scottish judges had ruled Lesley Jackson, who was 13 at the time of the incident in 2004, was partly to blame after she got off a school bus on the road between Banff and Fraserburgh.
Damages were agreed at £2.5m but this was reduced by the Court of Session.
Ms Jackson was hit by a car travelling at 50mph.
She had just got off a school bus opposite her farm entrance on the A98 road.
