The brother of an Edinburgh man killed in crash caused by a stolen car has opened up exclusively to Forth News as the hunt for the driver responsible continues.

29-year-old Jonny Smith died in the three-car collision on Maybury Road back in May. A car smashed head-on in to Jonny's car after swerving to avoid an Audi.

The driver of the Audi sped off after the crash and officers are yet to trace who was behind the wheel.

Jonny had been travelling back from his brother Callum's house before the fatal accident.

Callum has spoken exclusively to Forth News about the impact his death and the investigation has had on him.

Jonny's family are now continuing their #JusticeForJonny campaign, calling for safety improvements on Maybury Road and raising money to place a permanent memorial benchat the crash site.

A fundraising boxing event is planned for November from which all funds will go towards the cause.
