A woman has died at the scene of a late night two-car crash in Fife.
Emergency services descended on the B981 between Cluny and the Chapel roundabout, at around 11.10pm on Friday, December 19, following reports of a black Nissan Qashqai having collided with a white Volkswagen Polo.
Despite paramedics’ efforts to save her life, the 48-year-old driver of the Polo was pronounced dead at the scene.
The three passengers who were travelling in her car were also taken to hospital for treatment, with one currently in a serious condition.
A 33-year-old woman, who was driving the Qashqai, was also taken to hospital for treatment. She was arrested in connection with a road traffic offence.
The road was closed for hours following the crash, but it reopened at around 6.30am on Saturday, December 20.
Sergeant Louise Birrell said: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the woman who died at this extremely difficult time. Enquiries into the crash are ongoing, and I am appealing to anyone who was in the area and witnessed anything around the time to contact officers.
“I’d also ask that those with private CCTV or dash-cam footage which may assist to please review this to see if it has captured anything of significance.”
Anyone with any information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101 quoting incident 3935 of December 19.
