'Woman's death could have been avoided'
THE death of a young beautician in a crash involving a 30-tonne runaway digger could have been avoided, a sheriff has ruled.
Christina Fraser, 24, died of her injuries after the car in which she was a passenger was hit by the machine, which had broken free from the lorry transporting it.
The accident happened in July 2006, as the lorry climbed a hill near the A9 Inverness to Scrabster road at the Tomich junction in Ross-shire.
