A MAN has been charged after a taxi struck a boy in Edinburgh and then left the scene.
Emergency services were alerted to the collision involving a taxi and a four-year-old boy on South Gyle Broadway, near to Burne Cruik at 3.15pm on April 15.
The child was knocked down at a pedestrian crossing and taken to the Royal Hospital for Children and Young People for treatment of minor injuries.
Police previously said the driver of the taxi, described as a black people carrier style, did stop but then drove off towards the South Gyle Access Road without leaving details.
On Wednesday, officers charged a 76-year-old man in connection with the crash.
Police said a report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.
