A 61-year-old man has been charged in connection with a fatal road traffic collision in Edinburgh last October.
The incident happened on the evening of October 8 when a 57-year-old man died after being hit by a passing car on Comiston Road in the south of the city.
Local police carried out an extensive investigation and issued a public appeal in an effort to trace the driver of the vehicle.
A male has now been charged under the Road Traffic Act and a report sent to the Procurator Fiscal.
