A man has been taken to hospital after the mobility scooter he was riding was involved in a crash in Glenrothes.
Woodside Way was taped off just before 10am on Wednesday following the collision near the Lomond Centre.
The incident happened close to a pedestrian crossing.
The road reopened later in the day.
An eyewitness at the scene said she first realised there had been a crash when she heard police sirens.
She said: “I heard a number of sirens going off and went outside to look.
“There was an ambulance and police blocking the street at the pedestrian crossing.
“I saw a man being given medical attention as he lay in the road.
“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.”
