Driver jailed following Cowdenbeath hit-and-run
A man has been jailed for almost five years after a hit and run in Cowdenbeath last year.
Darren McPhee, 33, was behind the wheel of a grey Audi when it collided with Stephen Davis, 46, in the towns High Street on 14 September 2023
McPhee failed to stop and sped away, but was later traced in Moray.
Davis, who was a well respected gardener in the Fife town, was pronounced dead on the scene.
McPhee was sentenced at the High Court in Edinburgh on Monday to years and eight months for causing death by dangerous driving.
Road Policing Sergeant Lee Walkingshaw said: "Our thoughts remain with Mr Davis' family and friends and I hope that today’s sentencing brings them some comfort and allows them to move forward.
“Darren McPhee showed absolutely no regard for the law and his reckless actions highlight the devastating consequences of dangerous driving and the lasting impact it has on those involved, along with their families and friends.”
