An elderly man is seriously injured in hospital after being knocked over by a bus in Edinburgh last night.
It happened on Oxgangs Road North, near the junction with Oxgangs Avenue just before 9pm.
The 74-year-old pedestrian was taken to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh for treatment to serious injuries.
The road was closed until around 3.25am to allow for an investigation at the scene.
Sergeant Grant Hastie, of the Road Policing Unit in Edinburgh, said: “Our enquiries are ongoing and I would urge anyone who may have information to get in touch.
“We would be keen to speak to anyone who was on the bus who hasn’t yet spoken to an officer, or anyone who may have dashcam footage from the area around the time of the collision.
“Anyone who can help is asked to call 101, quoting reference 3657 of 16 February.”
