Police in Edinburgh are appealing for witnesses after a serious road incident at the junction of Charlotte Square and Rose Street last night.
The incident occurred around 19:30 when a Ford Fiesta struck a 74-year-old woman when the vehicle moved away from the traffic lights. A green BMW was also present at the scene, however the driver has not yet given a statement to police. The pedestrian sustained several injuries and was taken the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary by the Scottish Ambulance Service. She is currently in a critical condition.
PS Ross Drummond said: “We are urging anyone who witnessed the collision to come forward and help with police enquiries. We are particularly keen to speak to the driver of the green BMW, who was present at the same lights when the incident took place.
Anyone with information should contact Police Scotland on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
