Two people have died in a tragic accident on a main road through Fife this morning.
The A92 was closed in both directions between Freuchie and Ladybank following the two-car crash.
A Police Scotland spokesman said: “Police in Fife responded to the A92, near Ladybank, at around 5.50am following a serious road collision.
“A Ford Focus was involved in a collision with a Hyundai i30 resulting in the two male occupants of the Focus sustaining fatal injuries. They were pronounced dead at the scene.
“The male driver of the Hyundai has been taken to Ninewells Hospital for treatment after sustaining serious injuries.
“Enquiries into the full circumstances surrounding this incident are ongoing and anyone who can assist with our investigation is asked to contact police immediately.”
A92 closed due to accident between Freuchie & Ladybank. Services diverted via Giffordstown/Kingskettle. Delays expected on all routes.
A Scottish Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said: “Crews from Glenrothes, Lochgelly, Cupar, Auchtermuchty and Dunfermline were mobilised to the incident and on arrival found two cars with three male casualties trapped.
“Firefighters immediately got to work to stabilise one of the vehicles and used hydraulic cutting gear to remove the roof and safely free the trapped male casualty.
“The casualty was passed into the care of the ambulance service and taken to Ninewells Hospital with serious injuries.
“Sadly, the two males in the other vehicle passed away at the scene and our thoughts are with their families and friends.”
The road reopened at around 2.30pm.
