Police are appealing for witnesses following a hit and run collision which happened around 8.50am on Thursday 27th June on Seafield Road at the junction with the Seafield Waste Works.
A 38-year-old male cyclist was involved in a collision with a white Ford Focus car, which failed to stop and drove off towards Portobello.
The cyclist sustained only minor injuries and didn’t require medical assistance.
A three-year-old boy, who was also on the bike, was also uninjured.
Inquiries are ongoing to identify the driver and anyone with information is asked to come forward.
Constable Mike Thomson from Craigmillar Police Station said: “Fortunately there were no serious injuries as a result of this collision, but nevertheless, the motorist should have stopped to speak with officers.
“We would urge other motorists who were on Seafield Road and saw what happened, or can help us trace the driver of the car, to contact police immediately.
“Likewise, if the driver sees this appeal, then please also get in touch to assist our inquiries.”
Those with information can contact Craigmillar Police Station via 101 and quote incident number 868 of the 27th June.
