Police appeal after cyclist killed following collision in Fife

Victim named as 66-year--old Iain Anderson

Police in Fife have appealed for witnesses after a cyclist was killed following a road traffic collision on Sunday.

According to police, the other vehicle involved in the collision in Ladybank was a blue Nissan Cabstar.

Iain Anderson, aged 66 and from Glenrothes, died at the scene despite the efforts of paramedics to save his life.

His family said in a statement: "Our family are devastated to have lost a loving husband and father of five children as well as an amazing grandad to five grandchildren. He will be sorely missed. "

Inspector Andy Mather of Police Scotland said: "I wish to take this opportunity to extend my thoughts and sympathies to the family and friends of Mr Anderson.

"Officers at Fife road policing are doing everything they can to establish the full circumstances of this incident.

"As part of our ongoing investigation, I would urge anyone who was on the B937 Edentown to Giffordtown road on Sunday afternoon and saw what happened, to contact police immediately.

"We would also be very keen to hear from motorists who believe they have any relevant dashcam footage, which captures the incident.

"Likewise, anyone with any other relevant information should also get in touch.

"I would also like to extend my thanks to the off-duty doctor who rendered emergency care in advance of the Helimed attending," he added.
