A teenager who was killed when she and another woman were knocked down by a car near a supermarket has been described as a "bubbly, caring and beautiful girl".
Abby Hucknall, 18, and Jane MacDonald, 37, both from Kirkcaldy, Fife, were on the B981 Dunnikier Way road, close to the town's Asda superstore, when they were hit by a Land Rover at about 6.30pm last night.
They were both fatally injured.
In a statement released through Fife Constabulary, Miss Hucknall's family said: "Abby's family are devastated by this tragic loss.
"She was a very bubbly, caring and beautiful girl, a much-loved daughter, sister and granddaughter who will be sorely missed by all who knew her."
The male driver of the 4x4 involved in the crash was not hurt.
Police said the road was closed overnight while the vehicle was recovered and a crash investigation carried out. It has since reopened.
Officers want to speak to anyone who may have seen the Land Rover or the two women in the moments before the crash.
Inquiries are continuing in the area and police have asked anyone with information to contact them on 0845 600 5702 or Crimestoppers in confidence on 0800 555 111.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
