The families of four people from Glasgow who died in a crash on the M6 which claimed five lives have paid tribute to their loved ones.
Jaroslaw Rossa, 42, and his sons Filip, 15, and Dominic, seven, died when the Toyota he was driving was involved in a head-on crash with a Skoda near Tebay services, Cumbria, on Tuesday October 15.
Another passenger, Jade McEnroe, 33, died at the scene.
Her son Arran, seven, was seriously injured in the crash, which happened at 4.04pm, and was airlifted to the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle where he remains.
The 40-year-old man from Cambridgeshire driving the Skoda, who police said had been reported driving the wrong way down the northbound carriageway, was also declared dead at the crash site.
In tribute to her sons Filip and Dominic, both of east Glasgow, their mother Kamila said: “We are heartbroken at the passing of our beloved angels – Filip and Dominic.
“Filip was very intelligent, sensitive and full of love. We will never forget his smile, open arms, and the words ‘tuli, tuli’ (hugs, hugs).
“He was fascinated by computer games but also incredibly good at chess. He loved chemistry and dreamed of studying at the University of Glasgow.
“Dominic was always smiling, very resolute and sociable. He was extremely caring, always thinking of others first, and the first to help if someone was in trouble.
“Always surrounded by a group of friends of all ages. He loved dinosaurs and Pokemon, but most of all he loved penguins and dreamed of adopting one.
“Our lives will never be the same again.”
The parents of Ms McEnroe, of Kilmuir Road, Glasgow, also paid tribute.
They said: “Our beloved daughter Jade, you are so loved, and we will miss you every day.
“You are a very much-loved mummy to Arran.”
Arran’s father said: “I would like to thank everyone for their kind messages, to the emergency services and the members of the public that assisted at the scene.”
Earlier, Wagamama chief executive Thomas Heier paid tribute to Mr Rossa, of Kilvaxter Drive, Glasgow, who worked at the chain’s restaurant at the city’s Silverburn shopping centre.
Mr Heier told the BBC that Mr Rossa’s colleagues had described him as “a cherished chef and friend” who had formed “unforgettable relationships” with workmates and customers.
He added: “His warmth, dedication and kindness are the characteristics of Jaroslaw that will stay with the team long after his passing.
“We send our most sincere and heartfelt condolences to his family, which we know he was deeply devoted to.
“Jaroslaw, you will live in our hearts and minds forever.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
