A short time later, it is understood the van collided with a car and failed to stop. East Lothian police are now appealing for information.

Police Constable Frances Stevenson said: “I am appealing for anyone who witnessed the crash to come forward or who saw the van driving dangerously.

“The van could potentially have damage to the front offside and be marked with grey paint. Motorists who were in the area with dash-cam footage should also get in touch. You may have captured something that can assist our enquiries.”

Anyone with any information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting 2537 of Friday, November 22.
