A Fife road was shut overnight after a crash at a bridge over a river.

Police and fire units, including a water rescue van, were called to the incident on the B922 north of the village of Cluny shortly before 8pm on Sunday.

The road was closed overnight then reopened for a brief period on Monday morning, before being shut again for the recovery of the vehicle.

It fully reopened at around 11am.

Debris was visible in the water and on the banks of the River Ore after the road was cleared.

It has not been confirmed whether anyone was injured.

One Cluny resident who asked not to be named said he saw a “continuous stream” of emergency vehicles heading up to the scene.

He said: “The road was just awash with blue lights and emergency vehicles flying past.

“I saw at least two incident support vans and numerous police vehicles go past.

“Just a few minutes later, a water rescue ban and a boat also went by.

‘I’ve never seen so many emergency vehicles’

“The road remained closed all night.

“Whatever has happened must be serious.

“I’ve never seen so many emergency vehicles in one place.”

A woman who was working near the crash site told The Courier she was confronted with a “road full of emergency vehicles” as she finished.

She said: “I came out to get in my car and was met with a whole road blocked by lots of police and flashing blue lights.

“I also saw at least two fire engines and also two ambulances.

“At first I couldn’t get out onto the road.

“After a while, the police then directed me away.

“I was told a car had gone into the river and I could see some officers looking over the bridge but told nothing else.”

The fire service confirmed it was called to assist police at the scene.

Police Scotland has been contacted for more information.
