Several Leith dock Edinburgh casualties remain in hospital with serious injuries

Eight casualties from the major incident at Imperial Dock in Leith remain in hospital, with some suffering serious injuries.

NHS Lothian says that they received 21 patients in total, with 17 being treated at the Royal Infirmary Edinburgh (RIE) and four people at the Western General Hospital (WGH). This was following a research ship, the RV Petrel, becoming dislodged from its holding in the dry dock at Leith on the morning of Wednesday, March 22.

19 of those injured were taken directly to the two Edinburgh hospitals by the Scottish Ambulance Service, with a further two people self-presenting at the RIE. Two other individuals were taken to hospital in Kirkcaldy.
