Police are investigating the death of a woman in a road crash on the outskirts of Edinburgh.
The collision involving a MAN HGV and a Kia Sorento happened on the westbound M8, near junction one at Hermiston Gate, at around 9.10am on Monday.

Road policing Sergeant Jill Kirkpatrick said: “Our thoughts are with the family of the woman who died.
“Inquiries into the circumstances of this collision are ongoing, and I would ask anyone who was on the motorway at the time and may have seen the crash to please contact us.
