A young woman has told of how she narrowly avoided being hit by an irate driver that mounted the pavement to perform a u-turn on a busy city street.
Ellie Brown, 23, said that the incident happened at around 5:40pm on the A1140 in Portobello. She says that she was walking along the main road by The Scottie pub and that traffic was at a standstill.
But within a flash she alleges that the driver mounted the kerb to perform a u-turn which forced her against the wall. She says that if the car had entered the kerbside by a foot or so then it may have crashed into the wall or more worryingly, her leg.
