A CYCLIST is being treated in hospital after suffering serious injuries in a collision with a car.

The 52-year-old was on his bike near a pedestrian crossing on Bankhead Drive in Sighthill at about 6am yesterday when he was involved in an incident with a Peugeot 307.

He was rushed to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, suffering from bleeding from the head, a fractured pelvis and internal bleeding.
