A man is in a critical condition in hospital with a serious head injury after being knocked down in Fife.

The 56-year-old was struck by a silver Audi A4 on Hayfield Road, Kirkcaldy, at around 12.50am on Sunday.

The Scottish Ambulance Service attended at the scene before transferring the man to Victoria Hospital.

Police are now appealing for witnesses to the incident.

Sergeant Ewan Pearce said: "I'm appealing for anyone who may have seen what happened either from driving or walking through the area.

"I would also ask drivers to check their dashcam footage if they were on Hayfield Road at that time in case it picked up the incident."

Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101.
