Woman taken to hospital after car and HGV crash on main road through Fife village

A woman was taken to hospital following a crash involving a car and an HGV in a Fife village on Wednesday afternoon.

The collision took place near the petrol station on Main Street, Dairsie, at about 2.40pm.

The road was closed until 4pm as the vehicles were recovered.

The female driver was not badly injured in the collision.

Stagecoach 94 service buses – which serve St Andrews, St Michaels, Balmullo, Guardbridge and Leuchars – were diverted as a result of the crash.

Due to an R.T.C in Dairse, the 94 service wont be able to serve Balmullo, St Mich's Leuchars or Guardbridge to St Andrews. Services are going out normal route but will be diverted from Dairse roundabout. Apologies for the delays and diversion
