Motorist drives off after knocking over pram in west Edinburgh
Police are hunting a hit and run driver who crashed into a pram carrying a 7-month-old baby boy in west Edinburgh.
The child escaped injury but was taken to the Sick Kids Hospital for a check-up, and the 28-year-old woman pushing the pram was also unhurt.
It happened at about 2pm yesterday (Tues 8th Dec) at the roundabout on Riccarton Mains Road at the junction with Bryce Road.
The car involved is described as an older stlye white Ford Fiesta.
The driver failed to stop and turned his vehicle around before travelling North along Riccarton Mains Road towards the A71 Calder Road.
He is described only as being white, in his early to mid twenties with short dark hair.
Inspector Liz Duthie from Oxgangs Police Station said: "It is extremely fortunate the young baby did not suffer injury as a result of this collision, but his mother was left extremely distraught. "We are eager to trace the motorist who did not stop and anyone with information that can help identify him is asked to contact police immediately."
