A 20-YEAR-OLD man has been killed in a road accident in Edinburgh.
Police are appealing for information after the fatal road crash on the city’s Dundee Street, which took place around 5.30pm on Sunday, December 1.
The incident involved a grey Volvo XC60 and a male pedestrian, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the car, a 51-year-old man, was arrested and released pending further enquiries.
An investigation to establish the full circumstances of the crash is ongoing and officers are asking anyone with information to come forward.

“As our enquiries continue, we ask anyone who was in the area and either witnessed the crash, or has potential dashcam footage from around that time, to please contact police.”
Anyone with information should call officers on 101, quoting incident 2556 of December 1.
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!
