A 28-year-old motorcyclist has been killed in a crash in Fife.
The man was travelling on the A917 from Elie towards Leven on Tuesday night when his bike left the road.
Emergency services were called to the scene at around 9.50pm but the man – who was riding a green and blue Kawasaki ZX9 – was pronounced dead.
Second motorcyclist uninjured
Police say he was riding with a second man who was on a black and yellow Suzuki scrambler-style motorcycle.
That biker was not involved in the crash and was uninjured.
Police closed the road for nearly six hours with diversions put in place and some bus services cancelled.
The road reopened at around 3.45am on Wednesday.
Due to a police incident the 95 service will be unable to service Kilconquhar, Elie or St Monas from 22:30 until further notice apologies for the disruption.
