An 82-year-old woman has died in hospital after sustaining a serious head injury in a fall on a Fife bus on Monday - she had been in a critical condition since the incident.
She fell forward when the bus braked suddenly - emergency services rushed to the scene and she was taken to the Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy , where she passed away on Thursday 11 April.
Police are looking to trace passengers who were on the bus when it happened.
Officers say that the driver of the number 64 Moffat and Williamson service had to stop sharply to avoid a collision while travelling eastbound on Freuchie's East End at around 12pm yesterday (Monday). This caused the woman to fall forward.
