Motorcyclist dies in horror crash in Fife as police appeal for information

A motorcyclist has died following a horror crash on a road in Fife.

The tragic incident took place at around 9.50pm on Tuesday, October 4 on the A917 near Elie when the 28-year-old biker was riding a green and blue Suzuki ZX9 from the direction of Leven, and the vehicle veered off the road.

Emergency services, including Police Scotland and Scottish Ambulance Service, rushed to the crash site but sadly, the man could not be saved, and was pronounced dead upon arrival.

The victim was riding with a second man on a black and yellow Suzuki scrambler style motorcycle at the time of the accident. The second motorcyclist was not involved in the smash and did not suffer any injuries.

The road was locked down while officers launched an investigation, and reopened around 3.45am. Cops are continuing to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the event.

Anyone with any information on what happened is being urged to get in touch. Sergeant Colin Morrison of Police Scotland’s Road Policing Unit said: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the man involved in this incident.

“We are working to establish the full circumstances and would urge anyone who has any information to get in touch.

“We would be keen to speak to anyone who may have seen either of the vehicles on the road or who may have dashcam footage from the area. Anyone who can help is asked to call 101, quoting reference 3441 of 4 October.”
