A police spokesman said there was nothing to suggest the incident is serious, and that the road has not been closed.

Meanwhile, a bus collided with a car at Picardy Place Roundabout at about 5:30pm this evening.

Following the incident, Edinburgh Travel News reported delays heading south down Leith Street and citybound through London Road Roundabout.

But the police spokesman described the crash as a "minor bump" and said the road was reopened quickly.
