A crash between two vehicles forced the closure of the Edinburgh city bypass on Monday morning.

The vehicles collided on the westbound section of the road near the Sheriffhall roundabout shortly before 9am.

Both lanes were blocked following the incident, with one reopening around half an hour later.

An ambulance was sent to the scene of the crash, which took place between Millerhill and Sheriffhall.

Traffic Scotland said the road was extremely busy and drivers were advised to avoid the area.
