Tributes flood in for killed motor-racing fans

TRIBUTES were paid yesterday to three motor-racing fans who died when a car ploughed into crowds watching a rally in the Scottish Borders.

Iain Provan, Elizabeth Allan and Len Stern were killed in one of two such crashes during the Jim Clark rally. Two other injured men, both 61, remain in Edinburgh Royal Infirmary in a stable condition.

Mr Provan, 64, and his partner Ms Allan, 63, had travelled to the event from Barrhead near Glasgow,  71-year-old Mr Stern came from Bearsden, also near Glasgow.

Mr Provan founded the Motorsport Scotland website, designed “to bring together car and motorsport enthusiasts from Scotland.”

Former Formula One world champion Jenson Button posted on Twitter: “Terribly sad news from the Jim Clark rally, my thoughts are with those involved and the families that have lost loved ones.”

Police said they were keen to hear from members of the public with video footage or photographs of either incident.

Anyone with relevant information can contact police on 101.
