A 14-year-old boy has been “critically” injured in a car crash in Fife, police have said.
Officers were called to the A914 near the Forgan roundabout at 6.50pm on Friday following reports of a crash involving a great Peugeot 207 and a white VW Polo.
The 14-year-old, who was the passenger in the Peugeot, was taken to Ninewells Hospital.
The driver of the car, 18, was also taken to the same hospital with what have been described as serious injuries.
The 35-year-old driver of the other vehicle did not require hospital treatment.
Police closed the road to allow for investigations to take place, opening it again at 2am and are now appealing for witnesses to come forward.
“Our inquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances of the crash and we are appealing for witnesses,” said Sergeant Paul Ewing.
“If you were in the area around the time and saw what happened then please get in touch as your information could be important.
“Likewise, if you were driving and have dash-cam footage that could assist with our investigation, please make contact with us as soon as possible.”
Anyone with information is asked to call 101, quoting the reference number 3450 of August 18.
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
