Police appeal for witnesses after Edinburgh cyclist knocked off bike by hit and run driver

Edinburgh Police are appealing for witnesses after a car collided with a cyclist and subsequently failed to stop at the roundabout at the junction of Leith Walk and London Road.

The incident happened around 7.50pm on Saturday, 12 December, 2020. The cyclist was travelling northwards on London Road from Blenheim Place and entered the roundabout with Leith Walk. A silver vehicle joined the roundabout eastwards from Antigua Street and a collision occurred, causing the 25-year-old male cyclist to fall to the ground.

He did not require medical treatment. The silver vehicle failed to stop at the scene and continued eastwards from the roundabout onto Elm Row.


Constable Andy Crothers, of the Road Policing Unit based at Fettes, said: "We are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed this incident or anyone who was in the area around that time and may have dash cam footage to come forward.

Join our courts, crime and breaking news group for up-to-the-minute information about everything that's happening in Edinburgh.


"We're also looking to speak to the driver who left the scene, so we're appealing for them to contact us."

Anyone with information should contact Police Scotland on 101 quoting incident number 3528 of 12 December 2020.
