A Scottish pensioner is fighting for his life while two others have been left in a serious condition in hospital following a road crash in Edinburgh.
Police were called to the incident which happened on the capital’s busy Seafield Road on Sunday, October 24 at around 4.15pm after a Nissan Juke and a Volvo V40 crashed.
The 85-year-old female driver of the Volvo and her 87-year-old male passenger were taken to hospital along with the 32-year-old male driver of the Nissan.
The 87-year-old man is described as being in a critical condition, while the 85-year-old female driver, and 32-year-old male driver are both in serious but stable conditions.
Police have urged any witnesses or those with dashcam footage to come forward.
Sergeant Iain McIntyre of the Divisional Road Policing Unit at Dalkeith is appealing for any witnesses to the crash, or anyone with dash-cam footage to contact 101 quoting reference number 2518 of 24 October.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
