Tributes to student, 30, killed with her dogs as she walked them

The family of a student killed in a car crash while walking her huskies have described her as an "amazing" woman who was loved by many. Emilie Anne Parker, 30, was involved in the crash on Friday, October 11, near Aviemore in the Scottish Highlands.

It claimed her life and the lives of her beloved huskies Carver and Roo. Her family have released a statement, describing their "amazing sister, daughter and granddaughter," who was a student at the University of Dundee.

"Emilie was a smart, beautiful, courageous 30-year-old woman, who was taken from us far too soon," her family said. "She was a passionate adventurer who loved the outdoors. You could find her with her pups, biking, hiking, rafting, skiing, dog sledding or crafting whenever she wasn’t working or studying.

"She was an amazing sister, daughter, granddaughter, niece, dog mom, and friend to so many who are going miss her so deeply. The world lost an amazing person, and her loss is felt by so many who loved her. Rest in peace Emilie, and we will meet again in another life.”

The incident happened around 9.45pm near the Granish junction on the B9152 and involved a grey Peugeot 207. The driver of the car, a 20-year-old man, was not injured. Sergeant Calum MacAulay said: “Our thoughts remain with the family of Emilie. They have asked for privacy at what is a very difficult time.

“Our enquiries continue to establish the full circumstances and anyone who can assist and has not already spoken to officers should call us on 101, quoting incident number 3786 of Friday, 11 October, 2024.”
