A 29-YEAR-OLD woman was killed in a horror smash on the M90 near Rosyth on Saturday night.

The woman's Citroen C4 collided with a Land Rover Discovery on the southbound carriageway north of Junction 2 at around 8pm. 

She was pronounced dead at the scene.

The female driver of the Land Rover was transferred by ambulance to the Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy where she remains in a stable condition.

A five-year-old girl and 18-month-old boy, who were travelling in the same vehicle, also required hospital treatment. Neither is believed to have sustained life-threatening injuries.

The southbound carriageway was closed for nearly 12 hours until 7am on Sunday to allow collision investigation work to be carried out. 

Police are currently working to establish the full set of circumstances that led up to the collision and are appealing for witnesses to come forward.

Sergeant Derek Allan, of the Road Policing Unit based at Glenrothes, said: “Sadly, a 29-year-old woman has died as a result of this collision and her next of kin have been informed.

“A number of motorists have already come forward to assist us with our investigation and I thank them for their co-operation.  

“However, our inquiries into this matter are very much ongoing and I today urge anyone who saw the collision or either vehicle prior to the incident itself to contact police immediately if not already done so."
