Two men are in hospital following a serious crash in Edinburgh which caused a car to flip onto its roof.

Emergency crews raced to Waterfront Avenue in Granton at roughly 4pm today after receiving reports of a two-vehicle collision, Edinburgh Live reports.

Two male passengers from one of cars sustained injuries and were rushed to Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh for treatment. Their current conditions are unknown.
