A cyclist has been left fighting for their life in hospital after a hit and run incident in Fife.

Police were alerted to a collision involving a car and a cyclist on the A914 between Kettlebridge and Balmalcolm around 8.40pm on Sunday.

The 53-year-old male cyclist was taken to Ninewells hospital in Dundee, where police say he remains in a “critical but stable” condition.

Officers confirmed that the driver of the “light coloured SUV” involved in the collision failed to stop at the scene.

The road was closed for several hours to allow for investigations to be carried out.

The force said enquiries to trace the vehicle involved in the incident are “ongoing”.

Road policing inspector James Henry said: “I’m appealing for the public’s help to establish the full circumstances of this collision.

“Were you in the area around the time? Did you see anything which could help our investigations? Did you see a cyclist or a light-coloured SUV motor vehicle on the A914 or surrounding area?

“I’d also ask drivers with dashcam footage of the area from around 8.40pm last night to review this and bring anything of significance to our attention.

“Anyone with information, regardless of how insignificant you believe it may be, please get in touch.

“Anyone with information is urged to contact Police Scotland on 101 quoting reference 2974 of March 3.”
