Three people have been injured in a crash which left hours-long queues on a major road in Fife.

Fire crews were called to the scene on Standing Stane Road in Kirkcaldy at around 10.40am on Thursday.

They helped free a person trapped in one of the vehicles.

Three people were treated by the Scottish Ambulance Service following the incident.

Drivers reported long queues on the road, which runs between Kirkcaldy and Leven.
