The 87-year-old driver was taken to hospital following yesterday morning’s crash but sadly passed away.
A pensioner has tragically died and four other people, including two children, have been rushed to hospital following a horror crash on the A92.
The alarm was raised around 10.40am on Saturday, March 14 when emergency services were alerted to a two car collision on the A92, north of Rathillet in Fife.
Mercy crews, including Police Scotland and Scottish Ambulance Service, rushed to the scene of the incident involving a red Dacia Sandero and a blue Vauxhall Astra.
An 87-year-old man, who was driving the Dacia, was rushed to Ninewells Hospital, where he later died. The 88 year-old woman who was a passenger in the Dacia, the 32-year-old male driver of the Vauxhall and his two child passengers, aged seven and 13, were taken to Ninewells Hospital.
The extent of their injuries and current conditions are not yet known. The road was closed in both directions from Kilmany to Rathillet for around five hours for investigation work to take place and reopened around 3pm.
Drivers were urged to steer clear of the area and find an alternative route. Images showed blue-lit emergency vehicles tending to two cars, one stationary in the middle of the road with all its doors flung open and another lying abandoned after seeming to have crash landed into the grass and dirt on the side of the road.
Locals reported traffic backed up from St Michael’s all the way past Piketillum in what they described as “chaotic” scenes. More images showed heavy congestion on the road, with a line of traffic winding as far as the eye could see.
Police Scotland say they are still trying to get to the bottom of what happened. A probe is underway and anyone who saw the crash or may have dashcam footage from the area at the time are urged to come forward.
Sergeant Grant Hastie said: “Our enquiries are continuing to establish the circumstances surrounding this crash.“We are keen to speak to any witnesses to the crash or anyone who may have dashcam from the area around the time.”Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101 quoting incident 1055 of Saturday, 14 March, 2026.
