A man and a woman have died after a car crashed off a Fife road and caught fire.
The white Mercedes crashed into trees on the B914 Kelty to Saline road near Blairadam Forest just before 9pm on Sunday.
An image shared on social media showed flames shooting from the area.
The occupants of the car – a Mercedes AMG C43 – were pronounced dead at the scene.
The road remained closed on Monday night for crash investigation work.

Enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances of the incident.
Inspector James Henry of Fife road policing said: “Our thoughts are with the family of the man and woman who died.
“An investigation is underway and we are appealing for information that could assist with our inquiries.
“If you were in the area at the time then please get in touch, particularly if you have dashcam footage that could help.”
Morag Ford, owner of the Blairadam Premier Boarding Kennels and Cattery – which is next to the road – told The Courier: “The road has been closed overnight and officers told us it will remain closed today.
“Police cars are turning drivers away at both sides.
“The road is closed from just after the M90 flyover to the end of the wood by the lodges.”
Residents living close by told The Courier they saw “numerous” emergency vehicles heading towards the incident at around 9pm on Sunday.
One man who lives on Blair Drive in Kelty, just across the motorway, said: “The first I was aware of any incident was when I heard several sirens at the same time.
“I looked out of my window and just seconds later two police vans then moments later two fire engines went past in the direction of Blairadam Forrest.
“At first I presumed it was a crash on the M90 given that we live opposite the motorway junction.
