A car has been left written off following a collision with a lorry on a busy Edinburgh road.
The incident occurred on the busy Calder Road around 2pm on Friday, August 19, with images from the scene showing a car smashed up at the side of the road and a huge dent in a lorry after the two collided at the 'dangerous' roundabout.
Motorists experienced delays until the areas were clear, and Police Scotland confirmed there were no reported injuries.

The area has proved a hotspot for similar incidents and is incredibly busy during peak time. The collision occurred at the Bankhead roundabout near the Big Yellow Self Storage facility.
Several motorists took to Twitter to inform fellow road users of the incident. One said: "Delays at Bankhead Roundabout just now. RTC on the roundabout going from Calder road towards Westside Plaza. Police, Fire Engine and Ambulance in attendance."
Another said similar incidents occur on a frequent basis on that particular area of the road. They added: "The inside lane on the Calder Road claims another accident today, which happens at least three times a month. If there’s a lorry/bus going straight over and you’re turning left to Wester Hailes Road you're going to get crushed as there’s simply not enough space on the road."
Following this tweet, Edinburgh Council's help team confirmed they had passed the information on to the relevant department.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “We received a report of a crash involving a tanker and a car, around 2pm on Friday, 19 August, 2022.
“There were no reports of any injuries and recovery was arranged.”
