Man from US dies in hospital after being hit by van
A 58-year-old man from Philadelphia has died in hospital after being hit by a van in Edinburgh on Wednesday 10 April.
Police have named the man as Dr William Noel.
He was walking on Trinity Crescent at about 17:50 when he was struck by a white Citroen Relay van.
He was taken to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh where he died from his injuries on Monday evening.
The driver of the van, a 40-year-old man, was arrested and released pending further inquiries.
Police previously appealed for a female nurse who came to Dr Noel’s aid but left before the police arrived to come forward. She has since assisted with inquiries.
Anyone with information should contact police.
