A DUNFERMLINE mum who initially thought her daughter had died in a head on collision on the A907 near Comrie says her family is recovering well from their ordeal.

Hannah Scott, from Woodlea Park, her mum and two of her children are all on the mend after they were involved in a “horrendous” crash on Sunday, February 19, on the road between Blairhall and Comrie. And they are so thankful they managed to escape without any life-threatening injuries when it could easily have been much more serious.

She told the Press: “I was in the car, I was driving, my mum was the front seat passenger and my two kids were in the back. We were coming back from B&M in Alloa, just driving along the road.

“It was horrendous, I thought I was going to lose all of my family in a split second.

"I remember being in the driving seat and turning around and seeing my daughter slumped over. She was passed out and slumped over, she wasn't making any noise.

"My son was screaming, part of me was glad he was screaming because he was awake and making noise, but my daughter, she wasn't making any noise, she was just slumped over as if she was dead in the car."

Hannah said it all happened too quickly for her to be able to react. She saw a blue car swerve to avoid a huge puddle and then it collided head on with her vehicle. The airbags in her car went off, all the glass was shattered and her car spun off the road on to the verge beside some trees.

Thankfully, everyone made it out of her car alive. Hannah was left with bruising over her body, while her five-year-old daughter suffered from bruising as a result of the impact, a bump on the head and a sore shoulder. Her son, two, suffered from a broken arm, while her mum broke her collarbone.

It's been a traumatic experience for Hannah and her family, but after the help of around 15 "good samaritans", they were freed from the car and are now thankfully on the road to recovery.

She continued: "Before we knew it there was about 15 people on the scene, other mums were getting in the car to get my son out, wrapping the children in blankets, and when I got out, people were in talking to my mum and to keep her awake.

"People were stopping traffic and making sure people weren't trying to go past. They were great, they really were great.

"Both myself and my mum have lived in Blairhall and Comrie, and they're very lovely villages to be in, there's wonderful people that care and it definitely showed that day.

"I am so grateful that it happened where it happened because there was just so many mums and dads getting out to help.

"They even stayed until the emergency services got there, they were giving reports to the police and they were just wonderful. I was in a state of shock so I didn't say anything at the time, and I wish I did, I wish I had said thank you more.

"It just renews your spirit in humankind, doesn't it? It just let's you know when crap hits the fan, then everyone comes together, they were all wonderful, I was just so glad these people were there."

Hannah and the rest of her family are now looking ahead. They don't want this negative experience to follow them around.

Unfortunately, Hannah's white Ford KA+ was completely written off in the accident.

Her children, however, are looking on the bright side - and are enjoying travelling on the bus and watching cartoons while they recover.

She added: "Life is for living and we're carrying on!"
