Two elderly women were rushed to hospital after a car ploughed into them in Leven on Thursday.
Catherine Duncan, 72, and Anne Brook, 91, were chatting on the pavement in Scoonie Road at around 9.30am when a car came off the roundabout and hit a parked people carrier, sending it hurtling towards the friends.
Mrs Duncan suffered a serious leg injury when the unmanned people carrier smashed into a garden wall, taking her with it.
Mrs Brook escaped with just minor injuries.
The two were rushed to Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy but later discharged.
Mrs Duncan’s husband David, 71, said he thought the worst when he called out to his wife and heard no answer.
“I heard this bang and I went to check what had happened.
“I shouted to my wife and couldn’t get her. I thought she was listening to music.
“Then I looked up the garden and she wasn’t up the garden.
“Then an awful thought went through my head.”
Mrs Duncan, who is known to friends as Kit, suffered a leg injury in the crash.
“A car came down the road and bumped into a friend’s car, shoving it across the pavement, taking my wife through the wall as it took next door’s garden wall down,” he continued.
“My wife’s not quite right yet. Maybe she’s in a bit of shock yet.”
Mr Duncan believes the 35-year-old driver of the Honda Civic which hit the parked people carrier may have been dazzled by the low winter sun.
She was also taken to hospital but her injuries were not life threatening.
“It’s a bad time of the year, with the sun,” he said.
“It looks like the sun has blinded her.”
The Honda had come from the roundabout on the A915 and hit a parked Ford B-Max.
Neighbour Alastair Coull said residents in the street had previously complained about the safety of Scoonie Road.
“It’s a bad road and we’ve complained and complained,” said Mr Coull, 64.
“Last year, my car was hit three times. This was driving into my own drive.
“Police told me instead of reversing I should come in head first.”
The road was closed for three hours while the scene was cleared.
