Three killed on roads

A POLICE worker has died after being struck by a vehicle on the A90 Dundee to Perth road early yesterday.

Neil Smith, from Dundee, was hit near to the Kinfauns flyover at about 4.30am as he was apparently walking to a friend's house after a night out in Perth.

The 32-year-old worked with the Scottish Police Services Authority, based in Dundee, and had previously worked as a scene of crime officer with the Metropolitan Police.

In a separate incident a 16-year-old boy was hit by a taxi in Dundee at about 1.30am and died later in Ninewells Hospital. It is thought he had been trying to cross the carriageway of Dundee's Kingsway East .

Elsewhere, a motorcyclist was killed and the driver of a car injured in a crash on the B942 near to Anstruther, Fife, at about 5.15pm yesterday.
