Driver found dead after crashing into tree near Fife road at the weekend

A 27-year-old man has died after his car left the road and crashed into a tree in Fife at the weekend.

Police are investigating the incident and want anyone who witnessed the collision, or who has relevant dashcam footage from the area, to get in touch.

The accident happened on the B922 between Cluny and Kinglassie, half a mile south of the junction with the B921.

Emergency services were contacted by the driver of a Ford Transit van after they spotted that a red Vauxhall Corsa had left the road and hit a tree.

When emergency teams arrived at the scene they found the 27-year-old male driver of the Corsa dead inside the vehicle.

"Anyone who was on the B922 during the early morning of Sunday 5th May and can provide us with any relevant information should contact police immediately.

"Likewise, if you believe your vehicle's dash-cam footage may have captured this collision then please also get in touch."
