A THREE-YEAR-OLD girl has died in hospital after being hit by a car in Fife.
The incident happened at about 10.10am on Monday in Main Street, Townhill, on the outskirts of Dunfermline.
The child was struck by a blue Nissan Micra and emergency services attended the scene, with the road still closed for an investigation to take place.
She was taken to Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy, where she died a short time later.
Sergeant Stephen Quinn said: "Our thoughts go out to the family of those involved with this tragic incident and I would ask that their privacy is respected at this time.
"Our inquiries continue into the exact circumstances surrounding the crash and we would ask that if anyone has any information that they contact officers.
"I would also ask that if anyone has any possible dashcam or CCTV footage of the area to get in touch with police.
"Police can be contacted on 101 quoting incident number 0933 of Monday, 3 August, 2020."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
