Children pay tribute to parents killed by dangerous driver

The children of parents killed in a car crash have paid tribute after another driver admitted causing their death.

Husband and wife Satwant Singh and Jatinder Kaur were driving along the B981 near Cluny in Fife when they were hit by a car being driven by Sophie Eve Hynd on 19 December 2025. 

Jatinder died at the scene of the collision and tragically Satwant died two days later in hospital. 

Today at the High Court in Edinburgh Sophie Eve Hynd pleaded guilty to causing their death by dangerous driving. 

She was remanded in custody.

Following the conviction their three children paid tribute to their mother and father.

They said: “We could never have prepared for losing our parents in this way.

“Mum was always there for us, whether we needed her advice, reassurance or someone to talk to, she always made things better. 

“She was incredibly funny, kind and loved by so many people and always made time for anyone who needed her.

“Nothing was ever too much trouble for Dad, he loved Mum and us more than anything. 

“He was our role model and taught us the importance of working hard and looking after the people we love.

“It’s incredibly difficult to accept they won’t be there to share the important milestones in our lives. 

“We will miss them more than words can express, but we’ll carry their love and everything they taught us for the rest of our lives.

“We ask for privacy as we continue to grieve and come to terms with this devastating loss.”

Hynd will be sentenced at a later date.
