Firefighters cut out a person trapped in a car after it crashed off the main road in Kinglassie landing on its roof in a field.

The crash happened on the B921, on the outskirts of the Fife village, at around 10.30pm on Saturday.

A car left the road on a sharp bend on the Kinglassie to Cardenden road before landing on its roof.

The road was closed for more than an hour as two ambulances, two fire engines and several police cars attended.

Firefighters used specialist hydraulic equipment to free one person trapped inside the vehicle.

The extent of their injuries has not been confirmed.

A second occupant was able to climb free of the car.

One local resident described hearing a ‘loud bang’ shortly before 10.30pm.

He told The Courier: “I was inside when I heard a loud bang coming from the main road.

“The corner is regular accident black spot so I knew immediately it was a crash.

“I rushed outside and saw that a car had gone over the bend in the road and had flipped onto its roof in the adjacent field.

“A woman was able to climb out of the car but a man was still inside.

“I stayed with him until the fire engines and paramedics arrived.

“Firefighters had to remove the rear of the car in order to get the man out.

“It’s a sharp bend and there are crashes regularly here.

“The previous one was only three weeks ago in December.”
