Car details released in hunt for hit and run driver who killed Scots dad

Cops have released details of a car they wish to trace in the hunt for a hit-and-run driver who killed a Scots dad.

George Robertson, 53, was knocked down and killed as he walked along the B792 between Bathgate and Torphichen in West Lothian two weeks ago.

He was rushed to the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary after being discovered but was sadly pronounced dead a short time later.

The incident is believed to have happened between 10.15pm and 11pm on Sunday, 20 September, on the B792 just south of Torphichen.

Extensive enquiries are ongoing and officers have identified and are actively seeking a dark coloured Nissan Qashqai in connection with the incident.

Inspector Peter Houston from Police Scotland’s Road Policing Unit said: “Two weeks on from when George Robertson died, we are still looking for answers, and I am reiterating my appeal for any information at all which could help our investigation.

“We are looking to trace a dark coloured Nissan Qashqai, which we know was on the road around the time of the incident and would urge anyone who may have seen this car to get in touch."

Heartbroken family and friends paid tribute to the 'much loved family man' who was known to pals as Mojo.

Inspector Houston added: "George’s death has left his family absolutely devastated and they have stated it is now time for someone to act.  Somebody out there knows who was driving the vehicle involved and I would implore that person to do the right thing and come forward.

“Anyone with information can contact Police Scotland through 101, quoting incident number 4127 of Sunday 20 September 2020. Alternatively, you can call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where details can be provided anonymously.”
