ONE lane has been closed after a crash on the A1 near Old Craighall.

The crash, on the very edge of East Lothian, happened on the northbound carriageway of the A1 between Old Craighall and the junction at Fort Kinnaird.

Traffic is reported to be extremely slow in the area, including on the A720 City Bypass eastbound approaching Old Craighall Roundabout.

The crash follows the road between Old Craighall and Musselburgh being closed this morning after a car hit a lamppost.
