Two taken to hospital after crash

Two people are being treated in hospital following a serious road crash in Dunfermline yesterday morning.

Emergency services were called to Dunlin Drive at around 9.50am after a report of a two-vehicle accident near the junction with Linburn Road.

A man and a woman, believed to be the drivers of the vehicles, were both taken to Kirkcaldy’s Victoria Hospital, and it is understood that the female involved suffered more serious injuries.

She had to be freed from her car by firefighters before being rushed along the A92 by ambulance to Kirkcaldy for further treatment.

The crash, which involved a Ford van and a silver estate car, caused some delays in the area while emergency services attended and the vehicles were recovered.

Two fire engines from Dunfermline had been in attendance, said the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, while a Scottish Ambulance Service spokesperson said it had received the call at 9.49am.

“We received a call to attend a road traffic collision on Dunlin Drive,” the spokesperson said.

“We dispatched two ambulances to the scene.

“Two patients, one female and one male, were taken to the Victoria Hospital.”

The condition of both injured parties was not disclosed last night.

An investigation into the circumstances surrounding the accident has started.
