Couple thankful baby daughter was not injured in car crash

Members of a young family have been left with whiplash after being involved in an accident they say was caused by “dangerous driving”.

The crash happened on the Forgan Roundabout in Fife at around 8.45am yesterday.

Hayley Hogan, 24, from Dundee, was driving fiance Connor Kane, 23, to work in Glenrothes when she noticed a white van was being driven erratically in the left-hand lane of the A92 dual carriageway.

Hayley said: “There was a man driving the van who was not only speeding, but also attempting to undertake several motorists on the stretch of road towards the roundabout.

“As we got closer he moved into the far left lane that was exclusively for vehicles heading to St Andrews.”

The man apparently attempted to move back into the lane in front of the car before Hayley’s, an action she says caused an accident.

She said: “I had to brake causing the BMW behind me to smash into the back of my car.”

Hayley’s first instinct was to make sure that nine-month-old daughter Rosie, who was in the back of the car, was safe.

She said: “When you have a baby you don’t think about yourself. Both me and Connor ran to the back of our car to check she was OK.

“Thankfully she was perfectly fine due to her car seat.

“Although my daughter is fine myself and Connor have both been left with severe whiplash. My back is in agony.”

Hayley says the van driver stopped when he saw the accident but drove off when her fiance approached the vehicle.

She says the white van had a business logo and wants others who saw the accident to come forward.
