A “loving husband and father” who died after he was struck by a car has been named.
Bill Hepburn, 66, was hit by a blue Volkswagen Polo while walking in a Tesco car park in Meadow Place Road, Edinburgh, at around 9am on Wednesday.
He was airlifted by a specialist ambulance helicopter for treatment but died a short time later.
Mr Hepburn’s family, who have asked for privacy, said in a statement: “Our family are heartbroken at the loss of Bill, who was a loving husband and father.”
Sergeant Paul Ewing of Police Scotland added: “Our thoughts remain with the family and friends of Bill and inquiries continue to establish the full circumstances.
“Anyone who has not spoken to us and has any information that could help is asked to get in touch with road policing officers via 101, quoting incident number 0688 of Wednesday February 18.”
