The tragic death of a one-year-old girl in Balmedie will not lead to criminal charges against the driver involved in the incident
Balmedie: It’s such a heartbreaking situation. A one-year-old girl named Ivy Mae Ross lost her life after being hit by a Land Rover outside a church. This happened on May 16, 2024, and sadly, she passed away after being taken to the hospital.
The driver, a 40-year-old, wasn’t hurt at all. Ivy’s parents, Holly and Glenn, described her death as a “tragic accident.” They’re just devastated by the loss of their beautiful little girl.
The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service looked into the incident and decided not to pursue any criminal charges against the driver. They said they carefully reviewed all the evidence before making this tough call.
Holly and Glenn, who are part of the Plymouth Brethren Church, expressed their gratitude to the emergency services for their quick response. They released a statement saying how heartbroken they are and asked for privacy during this difficult time.
The church community has been supportive, and the family appreciates all the prayers and messages they’ve received. The Plymouth Brethren is known for its strict interpretation of the Bible and has a strong family focus, with members living and working closely together.
