Engineers evaluate Fife bridge after being hit through conveyor

Engineers are evaluating a bridge on one of Fife’s busiest roads after being hit by a carrier.

The bridge, which lies to the west of the Redhouse Roundabout on the outskirts of Kirkcaldy was struck at around 12pm.

The design suffered minor damage, however, several cars on the HGV cover suffered catastrophic damage.

A blue Skoda crushed between the front and back of the trailer and the road filled with debris.

Police showed that the incident had been reported to them.

A spokesman for BEAR Scotland, which manages repairs on the trunk road, said:  “We were notified of a car on a vehicle transporter making contact with the underside of the footbridge early this afternoon.

“Our TRISS (Trunk Road Incident Support Service) attended and noted some minor damage. As a precaution we have an engineer on site currently carrying out a further assessment of the structure.”

BCA Automotive, which owns the car transporter, did not respond to request for comment.
