A grandad has been named as the victim of a fatal road crash in Fife .

Iain Anderson, from Glenrothes , was cycling near to Heatherhall Wood, Ladybank when he was struck by a blue Nissan Cabstar on the B937 Edentown to Giffordtown road, at 12.10pm, on Sunday.

The 66-year-old sustained serious head injures and was treated at the scene by paramedics.

He died at the scene.

His heartbroken family have released a statement in memory of the 'amazing man'.

The statement read: "“Our family are devastated to have lost a loving husband and father of five children, as well as an amazing grandad to five grandchildren.

“As part of our ongoing investigation, I would urge anyone who was on the B937 Edentown to Giffordtown Road on Sunday afternoon and saw what happened, to contact the police immediately.

“We would also be very keen to hear from motorists who believe they have any relevant dash-cam footage which captures the incident.

“Likewise, anyone with any other relevant information should also get in touch.

“I would also like to extend my thanks to the off-duty doctor who rendered emergency care in advance of the Helimed attending.”

A spokesperson for the force added: “Those with information can contact the Road Policing Unit in Fife via 101 and quote incident 2017 of August 25.”
