COURIER,DOUGIE NICOLSON,03/07/01, NEWS. INVESTITURES AT HOLRYROOD PALACE. Golfer Dale Reid, from Ladybank, with her OBE.

Former professional golfer Dale Reid has been involved in a car crash in Australia which killed two people.

Dale (51) who recently emigrated from Ladybank in Fife escaped serious injury when the seven-ton truck in which she was a passenger collided head-on with a four-wheel-drive vehicle at 4am on Sunday on the Bruce Highway near the coastal town of Gladstone, Queensland.

The incident killed a boy, believed to be around eight years old, and the 31-year-old male driver of the smaller vehicle.

The boy was travelling with the 31-year-old as well as a 26-year-old woman and a girl, believed to be about four years old, who was airlifted to a Brisbane hospital in a critical condition.

The driver of the truck, a 48-year-old man, was also airlifted to hospital in a critical condition.

The 26-year-old woman was taken to nearby Gladstone Hospital with serious injuries.

Ms Reid and an 18-year-old man travelling in the truck were not seriously injured.

Ms Reid’s brother-in-law Roy Wicks (72) told The Courier he had spoken to her from his Ladybank home.

“She phoned to speak with us and her mother, who lives with us,” he said.

“She is okay but has a lot of cuts and bruises and is somewhat traumatised by the whole event.”

Ms Reid’s sister Valda Wicks said, “We are just so happy she is okay. She is obviously very tearful because she is thinking about the other family.”

She added, “She went into the wreckage afterwards to try and help.”

Ms Reid left Scotland for Australia four months ago to live with her partner, who is from the country.

Mr Wicks said, “The truck was returning to Brisbane with furniture but I don’t know if this was for them or not.

“We still don’t know all the details of the situation.”

Ms Reid is one of the most successful professional golfers in the history of the Ladies European Tour, with 21 tournament victories.

She topped the prestigious Order of Merit twice in the 1980s and played for Europe in four Solheim Cups.

In 2001 Ms Reid was made an OBE, following the 2000 Solheim Cup win.
