A 29-year-old woman has died as a result of a road crash on the M90 in Fife.

The crash happened at 8pm on Saturday near Rosyth, when a Citroen C4 collided with a Land Rover Discovery on the southbound carriageway north of junction two.

The woman driving the Citroen was pronounced dead at the scene and a female driver of the Land Rover was taken to the Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy. She remains in a stable condition.

Also travelling in the Land Rover were a five-year-old girl and an 18-month-old boy. Both required hospital treatment but their injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.

The carriageway was closed between 8pm on Saturday until 7am on Sunday while police examined the scene.

Sergeant Derek Allan, of the Road Policing Unit based at Glenrothes, said: "Sadly, a 29-year-old woman has died as a result of this collision and her next of kin have been informed.

"A number of motorists have already come forward to assist us with our investigation and I thank them for their cooperation.

"However, our inquiries into this matter are very much ongoing and I today urge anyone who saw the collision or either vehicle prior to the incident itself to contact police immediately if not already done so."
