A 22-year-old woman has been taken to hospital after a two-vehicle crash on the A92 in Fife.

Emergency services were called to the crash on the northbound carriageway at Newport on Tuesday.

Drivers reported several roads in the area were at a “standstill” following the incident.

Google traffic data showed queues as far back as the Five Roads Roundabout on the A92 and towards Drumoig on the A914.

There were also long delays on several side roads in Newport.

Both lanes of the road have now been reopened.

Police Scotland is appealing for information.

Emergency services were called around 7.30am to the collision involving a black Seat and a grey Skoda on the northbound carriageway of the A92, between Forgans Roundabout and Tay Road Bridge.

The 22-year-old female driver of the Seat was taken to Ninewells Hospital in Dundee to be checked over.

Constable Fraser Butter said: “Enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances of this crash and we are making an appeal to any motorists who were travelling on the road at the time who may have dash-cam footage which could be of significance.

“Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 0528 of Tuesday, 11 June, 2024.”

One driver told The Courier: “The Newport slip road before the bridge has been shut.

“People are struggling to get out of Newport and onto the bridge.”

Person stuck in car after A92 Newport crash

A spokesperson for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said: “We attended at a crash near Newport-on-Tay.

“We were assisting someone stuck in a car following a crash.

“Two vehicles were involved in the crash and one person was taken to hospital.

“Appliances from Tayport and Blackness Road attended the scene.

“We left the scene at 9.04am.”

Drivers are already facing longer journeys on the A92 due to the Tay Road Bridge roadworks, which are on track to be completed in autumn.
