The car has been written off after the crash at the "dangerous" Bankhead roundabout, near the Big Yellow Self Storage facility. The area has proved to be a hotspot for similar incidents and is incredibly busy during peak times.
Thankfully, despite the levels of damage to both vehicles, no one was hurt in the collision. However, motorists experienced delays until the area was clear, and several drivers took to Twitter to warn others about the incident.
One said: "Delays at Bankhead Roundabout just now. RTC on the roundabout going from Calder road towards Westside Plaza. Police, Fire Engine and Ambulance in attendance."
Another added: "The inside lane on the Calder Road claims another accident today, which happens at least three times a month. If there’s a lorry/bus going straight over and you’re turning left to Wester Hailes Road you're going to get crushed as there’s simply not enough space on the road."
Following tweets, Edinburgh City Council's help team confirmed they had passed the information on to the relevant department.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “We received a report of a crash involving a tanker and a car, around 2pm on Friday, 19 August, 2022. There were no reports of any injuries and recovery was arranged.”

A delivery driver who claims he was viciously kicked in the head after being ‘attacked by a road rage driver ’ has slammed police after they gave him with a recorded caution instead. James McGoldrick called officers for help after being followed by a man who had earlier cut him off on the road while he was on his way to drop off food in East Kilbride last November.
