According to a witness speaking to Edinburgh Live, “It was quite shocking to witness the huge disturbance outside the centre. There was an ambulance, numerous police units, and the main road has also been closed, causing bus reroutes through the Gyle.”
“The main roundabout into the Gyle Centre’s core is closed off, and traffic from the car park is being carefully managed to exit,” added the witness.
Unverified reports suggested that a person was seen receiving CPR by the roadside. Another observer commented, “It looked severe.”
The crash has led to significant transportation delays with several bus services including routes 12, 18, 21, 22, 36, and 71 being rerouted in the vicinity, as per Lothian Buses.
A representative from Police Scotland stated, “At approximately 11:10am on Monday, 16 February, we received a call concerning a collision involving a single vehicle on Gyle Avenue, Edinburgh. Emergency services are currently on site.”
