The mother of a young biker who died in a crash in Fife has said her "heart has been torn into pieces". Biker Jamie Murdoch, 29, died after his motorcycle collided with a car on the Q67, near Kingsettle, at around 4.35pm on Monday.
Mercy crews sped to the scene but the biker, from Methil, was tragically pronounced dead. The 51-year-old female driver of the VW Golf that was also involved in the crash was not hurt in the incident.
It's understood Jamie was employed by Raith Homes and was travelling home from work when the accident happened. His mum Sharon Young says she will "never get over his death".
Sharon wrote: "My heart has been ripped out my chest and torn into pieces. I never thought I would ever feel pain like this. My youngest son Jamie was in a serious accident on his way home from work last night he died at the scene." She added: "I love you more than words can say, I will never get over this."
Jamie's partner Kerry Sneddon said: "Today was the hardest part of my life. 10 whole years we have been through our ups and downs, we always came out stronger. I can't believe I am writing this, in loving memory of Jamie.

"I will never forget you and what you have done for me through the 10 years we were together. Now it is my turn to be there for everyone. Gone, but you will never be forgotten. Until we meet again. Love you always."
Jamie's dad, James Murdoch, added: "Jamie will be sorely missed by his brothers, sisters and all his cousins. Everybody's totally devastated, his work mates are totally gutted.
"He loved his bike, he was into fixing things, he was an all round really good guy. He would help anyone, day or night. He was cut down in the prime of his life. He had everything to live for. I will so miss him."
Rabby Redpath said: "Jamie's always been a good mate, he was just at mine last week too speaking about his bike. RIP Jamie Murdoch bro."
Sharriena Birrell said: "Jamie was such a nice young boy, can’t believe it." Angela Burt added: "Jamie was a good guy and I was proud to have known him. RIP Jamie."
