Seven drivers caught filming horror crash on their phones
One van driver even had no hands on the wheel.
Seven drivers who filmed a horror crash on a main road have been slammed by police.
One van driver who even had ‘no hands on the wheel’ was fined £200 and given six points on his licence.
The other six motorists can expect a call from officers over their ‘dangerous, illegal and inconsiderate’ behaviour.
The crash involved a Honda Civic, Ford Focus and a Volvo lorry on the A92 in Fife during the morning rush hour on Wednesday.
A 68-year-old driver and 61-year-old passenger in the Honda were rushed to hospital, where their condition is stable.
The 46-year-old driver of the Volvo lorry and the 36-year-old driver of the Ford Focus were not injured.
In a Facebook post, Fife police said: ‘Disappointingly seven drivers went past filming the scene on their mobile phones whilst the injured driver and passenger were present.
‘One van driver even had no hands on the wheel and we issued him a conditional offer for six points on his licence and a £200 fine.
‘The other six drivers can expect a letter or a knock on their door by us as it’s simply not acceptable and we have their details.
‘It’s dangerous, illegal and inconsiderate for the people involved in the collisions so please consider that and keep your phones away.’
Police are also appealing for information about the crash.
Sergeant Michelle Burns said: ‘Our inquiries are continuing to establish the cause of this road crash.
‘The road was busy at the time and I would appeal to any witnesses who have not yet spoken to officers to contact us. I would also ask anyone with dash-cam footage to come forward.’
