A man has died in hospital after being hit by a car in Edinburgh, police said on Saturday.

Paul McGlade, 35, from the Scottish capital, was hit by a Mercedes A Class on Colinton Road while he was walking at around 11.35pm on July 30.

He was taken to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh by ambulance, where medics said he was in a critical condition. He died at the hospital on August 2.

After the crash, part of the road was closed for about six hours as detectives started their investigation.

“Anyone with information can call 101, quoting reference 4406 of Saturday July 30.”
