Police in Edinburgh are appealing for witnesses after a road traffic accident at Hawes Pier, South Queensferry, this afternoon.

The accident happened around 1.15pm when a refuse lorry crossed the road and came to rest on the pier.

The driver was taken to hospital. His condition is not known at this time.

The road was closed between Hawes Brae and The Loan, resulting in a diversion through Dalmeny after the incident.
