A second A92 crash then closed the southbound A92 near Kilmany.
Also closer to Edinburgh a tractor has struck a bridge between Inverkeithing & North Queensferry. Scotrail have explained: "for safety reasons, trains can't cross it until it's been inspected. Engineers from @NetworkRailSCOT are on their way to do this."
Scotrail have tweeted that Stagecoach buses will accept valid rail tickets and smartcards on their services within Fife due to the train issue, however the bus company have announced that their Edinburgh-Fife bus routes are all disrupted due to the crashes.
Police Scotland confirmed that an officer has been seriously injured in the first accident, saying:
"The crash involved a transporter and a police vehicle.
"The police vehicle had been stationary and assisting a vehicle which had stopped. One officer has been airlifted to hospital with what are believed to be serious injuries and the A92 westbound remains closed."
Scotrail subsequently tweeted: "UPDATE: The engineer has confirmed that there's no damage to the bridge, so the line has reopened. We're working to get services back on the move ASAP. "
However, the knock-on effect from the closure has caused widespread train delays and cancellations:
Cancellations to services between Edinburgh and Perth
Cancellations to services between Edinburgh and Aberdeen
Cancellations to services between Edinburgh and Glenrothes With Thornton via Dunfermline Town
Cancellations to services between Edinburgh and Glenrothes With Thornton via Kirkcaldy
