A pensioner suffered serious injuries after he was hit by a car in Edinburgh on New Year’s Day.
The 81-year-old man was walking on Queensferry Road, near Dean Bridge, at around 12.30am on January 1, when he was hit by a Suzuki Ignis.
Emergency services were called to the scene and the victim was taken to hospital for treatment.
A Police Scotland spokesman said no one else was injured in the crash.
Officers are now asking anyone who witnessed the crash or has any information about the circumstances surrounding it to come forward.
Sergeant Christopher Bright, of Road Policing East, said: “We know that this was a busy evening with it being Hogmanay and that there were a number of pedestrians and vehicles in the area at the time, so we’d ask those who have yet to speak to us to get in touch.
“In addition, we’d ask those with dash-cam footage to review this to see if it has captured anything significant.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 0161 of January 1.
