Police appeal for information after Edinburgh cyclist hospitalised

Police in the Capital are appealing for information after a cyclist was found injured.

A 51-year-old woman was found injured on Braid Road in Edinburgh around 11.20am on Sunday, June 19 and taken to the Royal Infirmary.

Her injuries are described as being serious but non-life threatening.

The police have said that they do not believe the woman had been struck by a vehicle and enquiries are ongoing to establish what caused her to come off her grey Apollo bike.

Inspector Roger Park of Police Scotland said: "We are particularly keen to speak to a man who came to the cyclist's aid but then left without leaving his name or contact details.

"If that was you or if anyone else has any information about the incident then please call 101, quoting incident 1597 of 19 July, 2020."
