“It looks like there has been some sort of collision involving a vehicle and a mobility scooter directly at the crossing.

“The man was attended to and then put in the ambulance and taken away.

“The police have had the road closed off since the back of 10am and have been carrying out an investigation and taking photographs since then.”

Inspector James Henry, of the Road Policing Unit in Glenrothes, said: “We were made aware of a collision involving a car and a mobility scooter on Woodside Way in Glenrothes around 9.40am on Wednesday.

“The male rider of the scooter was taken to hospital for treatment.

“The vehicles have been recovered and the road has reopened.”
