The Port Glasgow community is grieving after 42-year-old Amy Gray, a much-loved mother, was tragically killed alongside her dog Reggie during an evening walk, in an accident that has left the town shaken and heartbroken.
The fatal collision occurred earlier this week, when Amy was struck by a vehicle while walking her dog near her neighborhood. Despite desperate attempts by witnesses and emergency responders to save her life, she was pronounced dead at the scene. Her loyal companion Reggie also died in the crash.

Police Scotland confirmed that emergency services were called immediately following reports of a serious incident. The road was quickly sealed off as paramedics and officers worked to assist, but the tragedy unfolded too quickly for anything to be done. “It all happened in seconds,” one witness recalled. “There was a loud noise, people ran to help — but it was just horrific.”
Amy Gray, described by those who knew her as “a fantastic mum and a beautiful soul,” has been remembered with overwhelming love and sorrow. Friends, family, and neighbors have taken to social media to pay tribute to a woman known for her kindness, compassion, and devotion to her children.
“She was the kind of person who lit up every room she walked into,” one close friend shared. “Her laughter was contagious, and she loved her family and Reggie more than anything. This loss is beyond words.”
At the crash site, a touching memorial of flowers, candles, and handwritten notes continues to grow — a reflection of the deep affection the community held for Amy. Many who stop by speak softly of her warmth, her generosity, and the joy she brought to those around her.
Police have launched a full investigation into the crash and are appealing to anyone with dashcam footage or information to come forward. “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Ms. Gray at this incredibly difficult time,” a Police Scotland spokesperson said. “We are working to establish the full circumstances of this tragic incident.”
The driver involved is cooperating with authorities as inquiries continue.
Amy’s family, supported by police and close friends, have issued a brief statement asking for privacy as they navigate their grief. “We are absolutely heartbroken,” the family said. “Amy was the most amazing mum, daughter, and friend. She will never be forgotten.”
Local leaders have expressed their condolences, describing the loss as one that has “ripped through the heart of Port Glasgow.”
As night falls, the glow of candles at the roadside memorial serves as a solemn reminder of a life gone too soon — a loving mother, a loyal companion, and a community figure whose memory will forever remain in Port Glasgow’s heart.
