A man has died following a collision with a lorry on the A92 in Fife.
The tragedy occurred on the northbound carriageway between Crossgates and Cowdenbeath at around 1.30pm.
It is understood that the victim was a driver who had exited his van on the busy stretch. It is also understood that the driver is not from the local area.
The road remained closed to traffic for around nine hours, and there was a heavy police presence at the scene while the accident was investigated.
There were major delays on nearby routes, with tailbacks reported at the Crossgates junction of the A92 and as far back as the M90.
The fatal collision comes just over 48 hours after another death on the same road.
Elizabeth Herd (71) was killed when her Ford Ka was involved in a collision with a lorry on the eastbound carriageway near Lochgelly on Saturday morning.
