## Resource

A 32-year-old man, Shola Richards, appeared in court facing fatal charges after a four-car crash on the A8 near Edinburgh Airport that killed 58-year-old Linda Patterson. He also faces accusations of obstructing justice and failing to stop or identify himself post-accident, with no plea entered and bail denied. Linda’s family honored her as a radiant, joyful presence whose warmth touched everyone. Two women, ages 19 and 23, are also charged but did not appear in court. Police urge anyone with dashcam or CCTV footage to come forward as they continue investigating — while offering condolences to Linda’s grieving loved ones.
