A driver yesterday took a photograph of a man lying in the street and posted it online as a “joke” – but did not call 999.

Ikram Choudhury, 19, got out of his car to snap the man who would later be hit by another vehicle.

He put it on Twitter for his 3,407 followers sparking an angry response.

One asked him: “Did you no go see if he was orite?”

When he replied no she branded him “sick”.

Police found the victim 10 minutes after his picture was posted online.

He later died in hospital.

Police quizzed the teenager at his parents’ home in Edinburgh where the hit and run took place.

They are also looking for a silver Vauxhall Astra which spilled engine coolant due to damage from the impact.

A spokesman said: “The car was badly damaged and that will be obvious to anyone who uses it.”

They added: “In particular, we’d like to hear from service stations or outlets that may have sold water or coolant to the driver of a silver hatchback.”
