Edinburgh boy rushed to hospital after being knocked off bike in Mayfield Gardens hit and run

A 15-year-old boy was rushed to hospital after being hit by a car on Edinburgh's Mayfield Road.

The teenager was cycling close to the junction with East Mayfield when the collision happened. Emergency services attended and he was rushed to the Royal Hospital for Sick Children for checks. He was released a short time later.

Constable Grant Hastie from Edinburgh Road Policing Unit said: “We are carrying out enquiries to trace the vehicle involved and to establish more details on this crash. We are gathering and viewing CCTV footage from the local area.

“I would urge the driver concerned or anyone who was in the area around the time of the crash who witnessed this incident take place, or drivers who have dash-cam footage to please contact officers through 101 quoting reference number 2797 of 13 December.”
