A man is in a critical condition after he was involved in a collision on the Edinburgh City Bypass.
The 46-year-old was rushed to hospital after the three-car-crash on the A720 yesterday (Thursday).
Just after 4pm, the cars collided near the Lothianburn junction, causing huge tailbacks heading westbound.

The other man, a 55-year-old, was treated for non-life threatening injuries.
