Emergency services race to crash involving car and motorbike in Edinburgh
Emergency services have raced to a crash involving a car and a motorbike in Edinburgh.
Police and ambulance crews were called to Drum Brae Road North after the alarm was raised at around 6pm on Wednesday. The road has been closed in both directions as a result of the collision.
In images shared with Edinburgh Live, three police vehicles and four ambulances can be seen in attendance. Paramedics were attending to a male on the ground and were seen escorting the man to an ambulance via stretcher.
Officers at the scene were also seen speaking to motorists on the northbound lane while their colleagues directed traffic at either end of the road. A motorbike could be seen badly damaged lying on the pavement of the southbound side of the road.
One eye witness said: "There were a lot of people standing looking on, it looked really nasty and I just hope everyone is ok. Traffic was a bit chaotic in the area as its a well used route for people getting onto Queensferry Road.
"Police were interviewing people in their cars as well as residents of the street. The motorbike looked in a bad way."
The witness said that a white screen had been erected while paramedics tended to the male who was lying on the road.

Emmerdale's Mackenzie Boyd killed by crossbow after John Sugden showdown
The Dales' notorious villain John Sugden struck again in Thursday night's episode. Emmerdale's Thursday night episode (August 21) showed some cut-throat scenes, as Mackenzie Boyd became John Sugden's latest victim. John shot Mack with a bow and arrow before hitting him over the head with a giant rock in the latest gory episode of the ITV soap. Mack had uncovered evidence that proved John was lying, and keeping some dark secrets. But villain John realised Mack was onto him, which led to a confrontation where Mack told John he knew he was the one who killed Nate Robinson. With John making it clear he could not let Mack get out of the situation alive, Mack ran for his life through the woods, only to be caught and seemingly murdered by the Emmerdale killer. It comes after recent reports claimed Mack would be killed off, with actor Lawrence Robb said to be leaving the ITV soap, reported The Mirror. At the end of Wednesday's episode we saw Mack make the worrying realisation that John was hiding a huge secret. He found a scrapbook from John's army days and in it was a photo of John with a man named Ben. But Mack already knew Ben, having met him in the shop earlier that day. He confirmed he was the removal man who had collected Nate Robinson's belongings, which the police now know was organised by Nate's killer. Fans know John murdered Nate and disposed of his body in the lake, before making it look as though Nate had moved away. He had the belongings collected and burned them, while Ben was seemingly under the impression he was talking with Nate. So on Wednesday he claimed to the police that he had no idea Nate was dead and had been the entire time, before identifying Owen as the man he met with to hand over the belongings. Of course this was a lie as Owen was the man John had framed for Nate's death after his own demise weeks ago. Mack put the pieces together and realised John had killed Nate and then asked his pal Ben to pose as a removal guy to get his belongings. He worked this out via the photo, and John realised he had been rumbled. So what ensued was a deadly chase through the woods as Mack fled for his life, with us finally seeing his flashforward scene play out. But John shot Mack with a bow and arrow in some very grim scenes indeed. As Mack struggled to breathe and stay alert, he begged John to let him live and promised he would stay quiet. But John said he needed to silence him, needing to cover his tracks once more. Mack told him he wasn't a murderer, with Nate's death having been an accident, leading to John chillingly commenting that this was about survival. With that he picked up a giant rock and appeared to slam Mack over the head with it, killing him. As the episode came to an end, John claimed he needed to get some petrol and left in his van that was covered in blood - which no one noticed. Not only that, but Mack's body was laying under a sheet in the back of the van confirming his fate. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
