THREE men fled the scene of a car crash after their vehicle flipped onto its roof after colliding with a traffic island.

Police are appealing for witnesses following the accident on Wednesday evening on the coast road near Seton Sands.

Officers were called to the scene after a car was seen lying upside down on the B1348 as it headed towards the holiday village from Cockenzie and Port Seton.
