A cyclist who was crushed to death by a tour bus after her bike was stuck in tram tracks has been named as a medical student.

Zhi Min Soh was struck by a tour bus after falling from her bike in Princes Street on Wednesday morning.

The 23-year-old, originally from Malaysia, was hit by a Rabbie's tour bus after her bike wheels became caught in the tram tracks outside House of Fraser.

She died in hospital from her injuries. On Friday, colleagues at Edinburgh University's medical school paid tribute to the "well respected" student.

Dr David Kluth, Director of undergraduate medical teaching at Edinburgh University's medical school, said: "Zhi Min was a talented, thoughtful student, who was well-respected by her peers and always keen to help.

"She will be deeply missed by the medical school community. Our sympathies at this time are with her family and friends. We have all lost a bright star of the future."

Police confirmed they are continuing to investigate her death.

Police sergeant Fraser Wood said: "This is a tragic incident and our thoughts are with Zhi Min's family and friends as they come to terms with their loss.

"I would like to thank those who stopped in Princes Street to assist Zhi Min on Wednesday morning. A significant number of witnesses have come forward and we are continuing to speak to them as part of our ongoing inquiries. We will be in touch with all witnesses in due course.

"I would again ask anyone who may be able to help our enquiries to come forward and contact us as soon as possible."
