Police have identified a woman who may have lain undiscovered for nearly two days after an A75 crash. The body of Caecelia Becks-Phelps, 46, of Corsock, was discovered by police on Wednesday afternoon.
The fatal accident was thought to have happened between 2030 and 2130 BST on Monday about half a mile east of Crocketford, near to Larglea Farm.
Police had issued a missing person appeal for Ms Becks-Phelps after she failed to return home from work.

A police statement confirmed a dark Vauxhall Corsa had left the road and ended up down an embankment.
