An elderly woman is fighting for her life in hospital after sustaining a serious head injury travelling on a bus in Fife.
The 81-year-old fell forward when the number 64 Moffat and Williamson service broke suddenly driving through Freuchie around 12 yesterday afternoon.
She was taken to Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy.
Police are urging seven passengers who were on the bus to come forward.
Police Sergeant Ewan Pearce of Fife’s Road Policing Unit said: “Sadly this incident has resulted in an elderly lady being seriously injured and we are eager to establish the full circumstances that occurred beforehand.
“I would ask anyone who was in Freuchie’s East End at lunchtime on Monday, April 8, and saw this incident to please contact police.
“I would also directly appeal to anyone who was on the bus to get in touch, particularly seven unidentified passengers who were on the number 64 Moffat and Williamson bus who have not made contact with police.
“Your information may be vital to our investigation and I would urge to get in touch with police at your earliest convenience.
