A family has paid tribute to a mum who died after a crash, describing her as someone who was "always cheerful".

Ann Moore died after the smash on the A952 between Mintlaw and Fraserburgh in Aberdeenshire.

The 69-year-old, who was driving a white Morris Minor, was later pronounced dead at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary following the crash at 8am on Tuesday, July 3.

A silver Renault van was also involved in the collision.

In a statement, Ms Moore's family said: "Ann Moore was a loving wife, mother and grandmother.

"She was always cheerful despite health problems later on in life, everyone instantly liked her and she was everyone's mum.

"The kettle was always on or just boiled and everyone felt at home with her.

"We all miss you mum, rest in peace.

"The whole Moore family would also like to warmly thank the police, ambulance crew, air ambulance, hospital staff and all the people that helped at the roadside and afterwards."
