Four people have lost their lives and five others are in hospital following a series of weekend road traffic accidents across Scotland.

An early morning incident on the A92 in Fife claimed one life and saw five other passengers hospitalised with non-life-threatening injuries after a green Ford Focus and a blue MG collided near the Luthrie junction. Fife Police confirmed that the road has been closed off and diversions are in place.

While in Dunbartonshire, the A82 - the main route from Central Scotland to the Highlands - has been closed in both directions after a motorcyclist died following a collision with a bus on the A82 near Firkin Point in Inverbeg, near Loch Lomond at 10am.

The accident was the second to occur in the area in a period of just 12 hours after a 31-year-old man was killed on the A82, near Luss, on Saturday night.

The man, who was apparently walking along the southbound carriageway of the road, was hit by a white vehicle at around 10.30pm.

The 41-year-old driver of the vehicle was uninjured but the struck man was taken by ambulance to Paisley's RAH hospital where he died a short time later.

And police officers in Tayside have identified the 23-year-old man who died after being struck by a lorry on in Dundee on Saturday afternoon as Liam Connelly.

Mr Connelly died in Ninewells Hospital shortly after being knocked down on the southbound carriageway of the city's Forfar Road.
