Tram services on Edinburgh Trams between Edinburgh Park Station and the Airport were suspended for around three hours on Wednesday 19th December after a collision between a car and a tram close to Gyle Centre. The driver of the car suffered minor injuries with no reported injuries on board the tram.
The collision happened at approximately 1155 at Lochside Crescent close to Gyle Centre but no details have been given as to what caused the car and tram to come into contact. The car suffered major damage – with the Police quoted as saying it was undriveable – with its driver receiving only minor injuries. As is usual in situations like this the scene then had to be dealt with by the emergency services before trams were allowed to run again.
A full service started to resume from around 1500.
