No injuries have been reported after a three vehicle rush hour crash which saw a road closed for more than seven hours.
Maybury Road was closed at around 8am this morning following a three vehicle crash, which saw emergency services rush to the scene. However, The Scottish Ambulance Service said no injuries have been reported.
A Scottish Ambulance Service spokesperson said: “We received a call at 08.15 to attend a three-vehicle road traffic collision on Maybury Road, Edinburgh. Two special operations response teams (SORT) and a critical care paramedic were dispatched to the scene and no patients were taken to hospital.”
Speaking earlier today, a Police Scotland spokesman said: “Maybury Road in Edinburgh is currently closed in both directions following a crash which was reported around 8.15am on Tuesday, 2 December, 2025. Members of the public are asked to avoid the area at this time.”
A spokesman later confirmed the road had reopened at around 4.15pm.
A witness who was caught in traffic earlier today said he had seen a lorry on the wrong side of the road and mounted on the pavement.
He said: “I was travelling from the Gogar Roundabout after dropping my partner off at Edinburgh Gateway. About halfway along Maybury Road, the traffic came to a complete standstill.
“After five or so minutes of waiting, cars in front of me began turning round and driving back the way we came. I couldn't really see much of what happened, other than a lorry that seemed to be on the wrong side of the road, mounted on the pavement.”
A spokesman for Lothian Buses said: “We are aware of an incident involving one of our vehicles on Maybury Road and we are assisting Police Scotland with their enquiries.”
He added that the number 32 service would be unable to serve Maybury Road and would instead be diverted until further notice.
It said: “Due to a road closure buses are unable to serve Maybury Road and are instead diverted via Glasgow Road, Drum Brae and Queensferry Road in both directions until further notice.”
Earlier today, Edinburgh council’s travel page, Edinburgh Travel News, issued an update at around 1pm: “The incident on Maybury Road is ongoing so please expect some continued travel disruption in the area.”
