A cyclist is in critical condition after a hit-and-run incident in Fife.

Emergency services were called to the A914 between Kettlebridge and Balmalcolm on Sunday at around 8.40pm.

Locals reported that the road was blocked for several hours following the collision.

The 53-year-old male cyclist was taken to Ninewells Hospital in Dundee, where he remains in a critical but stable condition.

The driver of the light-coloured SUV vehicle failed to stop at the scene and enquiries are ongoing to trace them.

Police Scotland road policing inspector James Henry said: “I’m appealing for the public’s help to establish the full circumstances of this collision.

“Were you in the area around the time? Did you see anything which could help our investigations?

“Did you see a cyclist or a light-coloured SUV motor vehicle on the A914 or surrounding area?

“I’d also ask drivers with dashcam footage of the area from around 8.40pm last night to review this and bring anything of significance to our attention.

“Anyone with information, regardless of how insignificant you believe it may be, please get in touch.”

Anyone with information is urged to contact Police Scotland on 101 quoting reference 2974 of 3 March.
