Fife: Woman stopped by police after 'unbelievably' filming a car crash on her phone as she drove by

Police in Fife responded to three RTC’s in total last night, and recorded three reports of careless driving in relation.

The first accident on the A92 E/B from Cowdenbeath to Lochgelly involved just one car, but following that two other drivers who were not paying attention crashed into the slowing vehicles.

Officers have described the actions of one woman who drove by the scene filming it on her mobile phone as ‘unbelievable’.
