Police closed the city’s Hospital Hill for nearly an hour after the crash at around 9am on Monday.

The extent of her injuries is not known.
One nearby business owner, who asked not to be named, saw several people running past the shop window after the crash.

She told The Courier: “I went to look at what it was and saw a crowd of eight or 10 people surrounding someone lying on the road.
“I saw one person shout for someone to call an ambulance, but by then, there were several doing that anyway.
“Several police cars and then an ambulance arrived, and the road was blocked off by police.
“Officers were also standing by a red car at the side of the road.
“I was told it was a woman who had been knocked down.
“The person on the ground was getting a lot of attention for quite a few minutes so it must have been serious.”
She added: “It’s the main route in and out of Dunfermline. Normally there isn’t an issue, so to see this right outside was shocking.
“I was later told it was a lady who had been hit, I hope she isn’t too badly hurt.”
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 9am on Monday, we received a report of a crash involving a car and a pedestrian on Hospital Hill, Dunfermline.
“Emergency services attended, and the 18-year-old female pedestrian was taken to Victoria Hospital.
“Inquiries are ongoing.”
