TWO pensioners are in hospital after being hit by a car being driven by an 80-year-old.
A 88-year-old man and a woman aged 86 were in collision with a Subaru as they crossed West Mains Road, at Mayfield Road, in Edinburgh at 1.30pm on Saturday.
Police Scotland said the pair remain at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, where doctors have described their condition as stable.
The woman driving the black Subaru was not injured, police said.
Sergeant Scott Kirkpatrick, of the roads policing unit in Livingston, said: “We are keen to hear from anyone who witnessed the collision or who has any information, including dashcam footage.
“If you have not yet come forward to police, then please call officers via 101 quoting reference number 2013 of Saturday June 24.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
