Motorist cut from her car

FIRE crews had to free a motorist trapped after her car careered over an embankment at Newcraighall.

The 24-year-old was released but declined to travel to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary by ambulance.

She had been driving along the A1 when her car veered off the Newcraighall slip road and into a grass verge at around 5.10pm yesterday.

An ambulance spokesman said: “It appeared to be a fairly minor incident.”
