Police hunting the driver of an Audi which caused a fatal collision near to the Maybury roundabout have spoken to the woman who gave medical assistance to the occupants of the BMW after a media appeal.
Officers are still keen to speak to the occupants of a small dark hatchback which was travelling north on the Maybury Roundabout at the time.
Jonny Smith (29) died when the stolen Audi caused a BMW X5 to swerve and collide with the Peugot 206 he was driving.
The Audi was later recovered in Cowdenbeath.
Detective Inspector Graham Grant from Corstorphine CID said: “Thanks to the media appeal and continued social media support this investigation has received from the public, the woman who came to the aid of the injured occupants of the BMW has been traced.
“We remain extremely keen to identify and speak to those within the dark-coloured hatchback, as they may have useful information that will ultimately help us identify anyone who was within the stolen Audi A3.
“I would like to stress that this car has done absolutely nothing wrong and we just wish the occupants to assist with our inquiries.”
He continued: “I would also like to reassure our communities that the stolen Audi A3, which was using false registration plate SM17 EAK, has been recovered.
“The vehicle which has this legitimate plate is still within Edinburgh is not linked to this inquiry.
“If you believe you have any other information relevant to this ongoing investigation then please come forward.”
Anyone with information has been asked to contact Corstorphine CID via 101 and quote incident number 108 of May 25.
