Grandmother killed in crash in Bulgaria

A grandmother from Ilkeston and an 11-year-old boy have been killed in a car crash in Bulgaria.

Gerry McLeod, 54, and Paul McLeod were involved in an accident in Varna, a holiday resort on the Black Sea, Friday evening.

A Bulgarian woman, aged 76, is also believed to have been killed, while Paul's schoolfriend, Dillon Shaw, 10, has been hospitalised.

According to local media the car was hit by a bus and it is thought Ms McLeod was driving at the time.

A spokeswoman for the Foreign Office said that the family's next of kin have been informed and consular assistance has been offered to them.
