The incident happened on Formonthills Road in Glenrothes at 11.45am this morning, and police have urged caution on the roads.

A spokesman for the force confirmed that no one had been injured in the crash.

It is thought that the conditions of the road, along with the downhill slope towards the Pitcoudie roundabout may have been a factor in the cause.

Police Scotland say that while the road has now been cleared, action is now being taken to make the road surface safer.
