Two pedestrians killed in Glenrothes road accident

A man and woman were killed when they were struck by a car as they walked near a Glenrothes park.

The 61-year-old man and 59-year-old woman were pronounced dead at the scene of the incident in Leslie Road on Saturday.

They were hit by a grey Ford Fiesta which was travelling northwest, towards Leslie, at around 10.10am.

Leslie Road was closed for six hours while police investigated the collision.

The 20-year-old male driver suffered minor injuries.

Police have appealed to anyone in the area at the time who may have information or dashcam footage to help with their inquiry. In particular they want to trace what was thought to be a Kia Sportage and a vehicle towing a horsebox.

The A911 between Leslie and Rothes roundabouts was closed for more than six hours and parts of Riverside Park, including a skate park, were sealed off as police investigated the incident.

Parts of Riverside Park, including a skate park, were cordoned off.

Sergeant Ewan Pearce, of Fife’s Road Policing Unit, said: “Tragically as a result of this collision two people have lost their lives and our thoughts are with their family and friends at this difficult time.

“I would ask anyone who may have been travelling on the A911 Leslie Road, Glenrothes at the time of the collision on Saturday morning and who witnessed what happened to come forward to assist our investigation.

“I would specifically ask that the drivers of a blue Kia Sportage, or similar, and a vehicle drawing a horsebox who are believed to have been in the area at the time of the collision to contact the police.

“Anyone who may have dash-cam footage of the vehicle or pedestrians immediately prior to the collision, and has not yet spoken to officers, are asked to get in touch to provide this at their earliest opportunity.”

Those with information can contact Police Scotland by phoning 101 and quoting incident number 1565 of July 13.
