POLICE Scotland are appealing for witnesses following a fatal road traffic collision on the A92 near Lochgelly on Saturday.
Elizabeth Herd (71) died following a collision between the Ford Ka which she had been driving and a red MAN curtain-sided lorry near the Lochgelly junction of the Dunfermline to Kirkcaldy dual carriageway.
The accident happened at around 10.25am and saw the road closed eastbound between the Lochgelly and Kirkcaldy West junctions, with drivers diverted through Cardenden to Cluny.
Sergeant Andy Mather said, "The A92 was particularly busy in both directions on Saturday morning. Although several witnesses have already approached my officers and provided statements, there may be many more who could also hold vital evidence which can assist our enquiry. We are appealing to those persons to get in touch with Police Scotland by calling 101, so we can progress our investigation into this tragic collision." In a statement, Elizabeth's family said, "She was a loving mother, grandmother and friend who will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved her. The family are requesting privacy at this difficult time."
