Tributes paid to ‘wonderful mother’ to boy, 7, as she dies in tragic lorry crash
The family of a woman who tragically died in a crash with a lorry[1] have paid tribute to her, describing her as a "wonderful mother" who left behind a seven-year-old son. Paulina Zogota, 27, had been driving a car that collided with a lorry on the A96 road near Forres in the Highlands, Scotland[2], on November 11. Emergency services rushed to the scene after the crash, but Paulina was tragically pronounced dead at the scene.
Now, her family have paid tribute to the woman, describing her "a wonderful mother, wife, daughter, and friend." Paulina was originally from Poland[3] and efforts are now being made to repatriate her.

A fundraiser has also been set up to help her family repatriate Paulina. A touching post read: "With deep sadness, we reach out to ask for your help. On November 11th, in a tragic car accident, we lost our beloved Paulina, who was only 27 years old. [H]er sudden passing is an immense loss for everyone who knew her.
She leaves behind a 7-year-old son who now needs our support more than ever. "Paulina always considered Poland her true home, and it is our deepest wish to bring her back so she can rest in peace where her heart truly belonged." Following the accident, police have urged anyone with information to come forward. The 57-year-old man driving the lorry did not require medical treatment, the Daily Record[5] reported.
Sergeant Lesley Morrison said: "I am appealing to anyone who was on this road around the time of the incident to contact us. We are aware there were some people who stopped to assist who left before officers arrived, I would ask these people to get in touch with us. "It's imperative we establish the full circumstances of the collision.
I'd also ask anyone with dash cams to check their footage as it could provide us with vital images which could assist us." Anyone with information is asked to call Police Scotland[6] via 101 quoting 0408 of Monday, 11 November, 2024.
