Man,74, charged after cyclist killed in hit-and-run in Fife

A man has been charged after a cyclist was killed in a hit-and-run incident in Fife.

Scott Walker was seriously injured in the collision on the A917 between Elie and St Monans at around 7.45pm on July 8.

The 43-year-old was taken to Ninewells Hospital where he died the following day.

A 74-year-old man was cuffed yesterday and is due to appear at Dundee Sheriff Court later today.

Scott's family previously pleaded with the driver of the car to come forward to "do the right thing".

Cops are urging people who may have witnessed the incident to contact them as they continue their investigation.

Detective Chief Inspector John Anderson from Fife CID said: "I would once again like to extend my deepest sympathies to the family of Scott Walker and to thank all of those who came forward to provide us with information.

"While an arrest has been made, we remain keen to hear from any members of the public who still believe they can assist with this investigation.

"In particular, we'd like to speak with the occupants of a dark Audi car, possibly a Q3 or Q5, with roof bars, which was travelling towards Elie from St Monans around the time of the collision.

"We believe these individuals may have witnessed what happened, but I'd like to stress they were in no way involved in this incident.

"If you believe you have any relevant information, but have yet to contact us, please do so immediately."
