Terrified Edinburgh family left cowering in own home as cars torched on bridge

An Edinburgh mum has spoken of her family's fear after multiple cars have been set alight before 'exploding' near her home.

Sarah Grossman, who lives on Coltbridge Avenue, Roseburn, said two cars have been driven onto the Coltbridge Viaduct, where vehicles are not permitted, in the last three months before being torched. The ensuing infernos have sent debris and sparks flying over the bridge onto neighbouring homes.

On Monday night, April 10, a van was set alight on the viaduct and left to eventually 'explode' above Sarah's home - with her kids, aged eight and 15, terrified at being awoken during the night.
