Detectives are launching an appeal for information after a man was left seriously injured when he was hit by a car in Gorebridge

About 9.30pm on Friday, 27 August, a 38-year-old man was on Powdermill Brae when he was struck by a silver coloured BMW.

Emergency services attended and the man was taken to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary to be treated for serious injuries. The driver of the BMW stopped and is assisting police.

Sergeant Steve Livesey said: “This man has sustained life changing injuries, and we are trying to establish exactly what happened.

"We have already spoken to a number of people but would appeal for any witnesses who have not already spoken to officers to come forward.

“Think back, did you see the pedestrian in the area before the collision? He was wearing a dark blue coloured zipped jacket, brown chinos and black shoes.

“Or were you driving in the area and could have dash-cam footage that can help us?”
