An elderly woman who fell on a bus in Freuchie when it braked suddenly to avoid a collision has died in hospital.
The 82-year-old suffered serious head injuries on the number 64 Moffat and Williamson service on Monday afternoon.
She was rushed to Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy but last night passed away.
Sergeant Nicola Young from Fife’s Road Policing Unit said: “This has been a tragic incident which has resulted in the loss of this woman’s life. Our thoughts and sympathies remain with her family and friends at this time.
“Our inquiries continue and I’d like to thank those passengers on the bus who have come forward and assisted officers with the investigation.
“I’d urge anyone who witnessed what happened, or who has any information that can help our investigation, to come forward and contact officers at their earliest opportunity."
Police are urging anyone who was aboard the bus to contact them on 101.
