SquareOne Newsby Pere Fornes
A cyclist was killed after he was hit by a lorry in Edinburgh city centre this morning according to police.
The 35 year-old man suffered serious injuries and died at the scene after the accident that happened on the corner of Nicolson and West Richmond Street at about 9.30am.
A police spokesman appealed for witnesses. He said: "An investigation is under way to establish the cause of the collision and the driver is assisting with inquiries."
Clerk Street was closed to traffic after the collision. This, combined with ongoing gas main works in the area brought traffic chaos to the surrounding streets. Police diverted traffic through Nicolson Square which caused problems for bus passengers around Surgeons' Hall.
