TRIBUTES have been paid to an Inverkeithing father-of-two who died after a road accident near Kirkcaldy.
Alex Muirhead (55) was driving a Ford Focus which was in collision with a Ford Transit van on the B9157 Orrock Quarry Road near Cuddyknowes Cottages at 7am on Friday.
He was cut from the wreckage by firefighters and flown to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, where he later died.
Mr Muirhead's wife Cathi said, "Alex was a devoted father to Lee and Greg and dearly loved husband to me. He was also a loving son to Betty and brother to Sharon.
"Over the past couple of years Alex had been heavily involved with the local Air Training Cadets and its extended family.
"He will be missed by his workmates at Havelock Europa in Kirkcaldy. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family of the passenger who had been travelling to work with him and stayed with Alex until he was airlifted to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary.
"Words cannot explain the thanks Alex's family would like to say to the various staff at the hospital and police who looked after him and his family."
A spokesperson for Havelock said Mr Muirhead was a respected colleague and friend who would be missed by all.
"Our thoughts are with his family at this sad time," she added.
