Diversions were put in place for around three and a half hours as officers carried on their investigation.

Road police officers are now urging anyone who witnessed the incident or may have seen the Corsa before the crash to come forward. They are also keen to speak to any driver who could have dashcam footage from the area.

Road Policing Sergeant Paul Ewing said: “We’re asking for anyone who was in the Easter Road area and witnessed the crash, or may have seen the Corsa beforehand, to please come forward.

“We are also keen to speak with any other motorists who may have possible dashcam footage from the area around the time in question.

“Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101, quoting incident 1088 of 9 May, 2023.”
