Lothian and Borders Police is appealing for witnesses following a fatal road collision in Edinburgh over the weekend.
The incident happened around 1.30pm yesterday at the Clovenstone Roundabout on Wester Hailes Road.
A Honda CRX car was travelling southwards when it was involved in a collision with a lorry, which was negotiating the roundabout at the time.
The 22-year-old male driver of the car succumbed to his injuries and died at the scene, while a 26-year-old woman, who was a passenger within the vehicle, is currently within the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, where she is being treated for serious injuries.
Police closed the road for around five hours while they conducted their investigation and officers are now keen to hear from motorists or other members of the public who can assist with their enquiries.
Road Policing Sergeant Andy Gibb said:- “We continue to investigate the full circumstances surrounding this collision, which, tragically, resulted in the death of a young man.
“Road users who were in the area of the Clovenstone Roundabout at around 1.30pm on Sunday are asked to come forward if they have information that can help us establish why this incident occurred.
“Similarly, anyone with any other information relevant to this investigation is also asked to contact police immediately.”
Those with information can contact Lothian and Borders Police on 0131 311 3131, or the charity Crimestoppers in complete anonymity on 0800 555 111.
