Hit and run leaves two women in hospital as driver fled scene
The driver of a white Ford Transit flat left the scene on foot. Two female pensioners have been rushed to hospital following a hit and run with a van on a busy Scots road. On Thursday May 29 at around 11.10am, emergency crews raced to the A6094 near to Rosewell after receiving reports of a collision involving a white Ford Transit flat bed and a red Renault Captur. The driver of the van left the scene on foot and headed north along the A6094 before the emergency services arrived. Two women, aged 68 and 69, were taken to hospital for treatment to minor injuries. Constable Stewart Logan has appealed to the driver and anyone who witnessed the crash to come forward. He said: "We are keen to speak with the man who was driving the van or anyone who stopped at the crash and spoke with him before he left. "We are also looking to speak with any further witnesses or anyone with information or dashcam who has yet to contact police. If you believe you can assist, please call 101, quoting incident 1162 of 29 May." Yesterday, in a separate incident, we reported that a Scots schoolboy is in a "serious condition" in hospital after being hit by a car near an school in Edinburgh. The seven-year-old was struck by a vehicle on Ferry Road in the capital at around 6.30pm on Friday night. It is understood the crash took place near Oaklands Primary School. He was rushed to the Royal Hospital for Children and Young People where he remains in a serious but stable condition. Cops remain at the scene and a cordon has been erected while they carry out full enquiries. An investigation has also been launched into the crash. Images from the scene show several police cars in the residential area and police tape cornering off the scene. A spokesperson for Police Scotland said: "We were made aware of a collision involving a car and a seven-year-old male pedestrian which happened on Ferry Road in Edinburgh shortly after 6.35pm on Friday, 30 May. "The boy has been taken to the Royal Hospital for Children and Young People for treatment. His injuries are serious but not described as life threatening. "Enquiries are ongoing and the road is currently closed." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community! Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.
