“Our hearts are broken”: family’s tribute to Shaun after Fife road tragedy

The family of Fife man Shaun Smith have paid tribute to their “beautiful boy” after his tragic death at the weekend.

Shaun (27), from Glenrothes, died when his Vauxhall Corsa struck a tree after it left the northbound carriageway of the B922 near Cluny, between 1am and 1.30am on Sunday.

Shaun was found dead within the vehicle and inquiries are ongoing.

In a statement today, Shaun’s family said, “Our hearts are broken by the sad fact that we have lost our beautiful boy Shaun.

“There are no words that we can say to take this pain away.

“He was a loving son, brother, father, grandson, cousin, uncle, nephew and friend and will be deeply missed by everyone.

Sergeant Stephen Quinn from Fife’s Road Policing Unit said, “Once again, I would like to offer my deepest sympathies to Shaun’s family and we are continuing to provide them with all the support they require, while also conducting a thorough investigation into the full circumstances of this tragic incident.

“This collision occurred during the early hours of a Sunday morning, however, the road is a frequently used arterial route and other motorists may have relevant information or dash-cam footage that can assist with our inquiries.

“If you believe you may be able to aid our investigation then please contact police immediately.”
