Police have appealed for witnesses to come forward following the death of a man on the A92 in Fife on Monday.
The lorry driver died after he was struck by a passing vehicle while parked in a lay-by between Crossgates and Cowdenbeath.
The tragedy happened around 1.15pm on the busy stretch, with investigation work closing the route until later that night.
Officers from Police Scotland believe that the collision may have been witnessed by passing motorists, particularly the driver of a small, black car.
Police are yet to formally identify the victim from Monday’s incident, although it is understood the man is not from the Fife area.
The fatal collision caused traffic chaos in the east of Scotland, and came just 48 hours after 71-year-old Elizabeth Herd also died following a collision on the A92, near Lochgelly.
In the aftermath of the two fatalities, road safety campaigners have voiced their concerns over the route and have called on Transport Scotland, who oversee the country’s strategic roads, to take action.
A spokesperson for the agency told The Courier that over £235,000 had been spent on improving safety on the A92 in Fife in the past year, with a similar amount to be spent in this financial year.
She added that Transport Scotland would work with the police throughout its investigation, adding: “Our sympathies are with family and friends of those involved in these accidents at this difficult time.
“As investigations are ongoing it would be inappropriate to comment in any detail. However, as part of standard policy our officials will meet with the police and our operating company at the scene of the accident to obtain more detailed information and to identify if there is a need for a further road safety investigation.”
