News brief: based on one report

STV News reported on October 20, 2026, that a road near Edinburgh Airport is due to close while an investigation continues into a fatal crash that it describes as a hit-and-run. The outlet's headline frames the closure as tied to that probe.

The headline does not say when the crash happened, who died or was otherwise involved, what caused the collision, or how long the road will be closed. No other outlet has confirmed these points so far, so they should be treated as unverified until more reporting is available.

The official crash report is generally kept by the law-enforcement agency that handled the crash. People involved in a crash can usually ask that agency for a copy of the report.

Why the Official Report Matters

The official accident report documents key facts—who was involved, where and when it happened, the officer's fault determination, and witness statements. Insurance companies rely on it to process claims.

Without this report, proving fault becomes significantly harder. Even if you don't plan to file a lawsuit, having the official record protects you if the other party's insurance disputes your account.
