Police have launched a search for the driver of a Fiat 500 after two teenage girls were hospitalised following a crash in Edinburgh. Authorities were called to Sir Harry Lauder Road in the capital at around 1 am on Sunday, January 29 following reports of a two-car crash between a VW Insignia and a Fiat 500.
The two passengers of the Fiat, aged 15 and 16, were taken to hospital to be checked over following the incident. The driver, however, made off from the scene.
The driver of the VW told Edinburgh Live: "I was coming round Sir Harry Lauder Road, driving normally and all of a sudden someone smashed into me. Once I realised what had happened I got out the car, and saw the driver staggering around so I went to get my phone to film him. By the time I'd done that he had ran away.
"Then I realised there were two young girls in the car, and one of them was bleeding from the mouth. They were taken to hospital, and the officers did a great job of keeping the situation under control."
Inspector William Falconer said: “We were called around 12.45am on Sunday, 29 January, to a report of a two car crash on Sir Harry Lauder Road, Edinburgh, involving a VW Insignia and a Fiat 500.
“Two teenage girls, one aged 15 and one aged 16, rear seat passengers in the Fiat, were taken to hospital to be checked over. The driver of the Fiat made off and enquiries are ongoing to trace him. No one else was injured.”
