Young Scots driver dies after motor crashes into wall and catches fire as police launch probe

A young motorist has tragically died after his car crashed into a wall before catching fire on a country road in Fife.

The 22-year-old was driving a Ford Focus on the B914 between Saline and Kelty when the vehicle collided with a wall near the B915 junction.

Emergency services were called to the scene at around 7.30pm on Saturday, May 14, with reports that the motor was engulfed in flames.

The driver, who has not yet been identified, was pronounced dead at the scene with the road closed for almost eight hours.

A full accident investigation probe is now underway with police keen to speak to anyone who may have dashcam footage from the area.

Sergeant Colin Morrison from the Road Policing Unit said: “At this time our thoughts are with the family and friends of the man who died.

“Enquiries are ongoing into the cause of this crash and I would appeal to anyone who was in the area at the time who saw the Ford Focus driving on the B914 to contact us.

“I would also ask anyone with dash-cam footage to come forward as this information will assist our investigation.”

Anyone with information should contact officers through 101 quoting reference number 3343 of 14 May.
