Pennywell Road was closed for a period last night after a cyclist was hit by a bus around 5.15pm

The man was taken to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary with serious injuries shortly afterwards and his condition at that time was described as critical.

His condition was since stabilised and he was later transferred to Western General Hospital.

Two ambulances attended the scene of the crash, along with a trauma team from Edinburgh Royal Infirmary.

An investigation into the circumstances is underway.
