The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service were called out to a road traffic collision in Murrayfield this morning just before 8.30. The incident involved a car and a lorry at the junction of Kinellan Road and Murrayfield Road.
Crews from Tollcross and Crewe Toll fire stations were mobilised to the scene and on arrival found a 34 year-old man trapped in his car.
Firefighters immediately got to work to stabilise the vehicle before using hydraulic cutting gear to remove the roof.
Working with colleagues from the Scottish Ambulance Service, they safely released the casualty using a rescue board.
Once released, the casualty was then taken to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary suffering from suspected neck and back injuries.
