A cyclist who is in a critical condition in hospital after being involved in a crash has yet to be identified.

The incident happened at around 6.45am on Thursday on the A913 Cupar to Newburgh road in Fife.

His white mountain bike was involved in the crash with a white Volkswagen Crafter van about half-a-mile east of the A92 Parbroath crossroads.

The man, believed to be aged in his 40s, was seriously injured and taken to Ninewells Hospital in Dundee, where he remains in a critical condition.

Sergeant Nicola Young said: "The man had no identification documents on him and so far his identity remains unknown.

"We have made extensive inquiries to try and establish who the man may be and it is believed he could have links to Cupar and may have been in Perth on Wednesday September 25.

"The man is described as white, has a brown, greying short beard and has brown/sandy coloured hair.

"He was wearing a black fleece with a yellow collar that had an embroidered National Geographic crest logo on the left.

"He was also wearing black dress trousers and white Nike shoes, riding a mountain bike with a white frame.

"I would urge anyone who recognises the description of the man to get in touch with us. If you have information, no matter how small you think it may be, please call us on 101 quoting incident 462 of September 26."
