An inquiry is to be held into the death of a toddler who was killed after being struck by a car driven by an elderly woman in Edinburgh.
Xander Irvine was walking with his mother Victoria, 37, when he was knocked down on Morningside Road in June 2020.
The red Kia mounted the pavement and crashed into a shop front.
Xander was taken to hospital but suffered fatal injuries. His mother was also injured.
Edith Duncan, 91, was charged with causing death by dangerous driving and driving without insurance but died in May 2021 before standing trial.
The death is said to have occurred in “circumstances giving rise to serious public concern” with a Fatal Accident Inquiry to be held next month.
A preliminary hearing has been set for April 11 at Edinburgh Sheriff Court.
