Two people have been taken to hospital following a two-vehicle crash on the A92 near Cowdenbeath.

Emergency crews were called to the incident on the eastbound carriageway between Cowdenbeath and Lochgelly at around 5.20pm on Friday.

The road was restricted for more than an hour before the vehicles were uplifted.

Road users took to social media to warn others of long tailbacks on the road, with journey times extended by around 10 minutes.

Police confirmed two people were taken to Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy by ambulance as a precaution.

The extent of their injuries is not known.

A passing motorist said: “I was driving home when I came across the crash.

“It looked like quite a bad one. Police, fire engine and ambulance were all there.

“It looked as though both cars were write-offs.

“I was stuck in it for a little while but mainly hope everyone involved is okay.”

Drivers were advised to approach with caution and to allow for longer than normal journey times.

Road reopened as vehicles uplifted

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 5.20pm on Friday, officers were called to a two-vehicle crash on the eastbound carriageway of the A92, between Cowdenbeath and Lochgelly.

“Two people were taken to the Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy as a precaution.

“The vehicles were uplifted and the road reopened around an hour later.”
