Anyone who has any information that can assist in identifying the driver should call Lothian and Borders Police on 0131 311 3131, or Crimestoppers in confidence and complete anonymity on 0800 555 111. </p> <p>The tipper lorry is described as having a grey or silver trailer, and a black or blue tarpaulin cover. </p> <p>A police spokesman said: "It is very possible that the driver has carried on without realising what has happened, and it's important that they contact police as a matter of urgency.</p> <p>"Similarly, anyone who witnessed the collision, or who was on the A6094 this morning and noticed either the cyclist or the lorry heading towards Leadburn, should also get in touch." </p>
