Police search for driver who caused pile-up

Police in Edinburgh are appealing for witnesses after a hit-and-run collision on the City Bypass.

The incident happened around 2:55pm last Friday on the eastbound carriageway and the Calder junction off-slip.

A blue or silver car struck the rear of a white Kia Venga, resulting in the vehicle striking a blue Audi A3. Three other vehicles then attempted to take evasive action, but also became involved in a separate collision with each other.

The car responsible for the initial collision failed to stop and inquiries are ongoing to trace the driver.
