A motorcyclist has died following a road collision in Bathgate at the weekend.
The 37-year-old man was travelling along the A89, Glasgow Road, at 10.05pm on Saturday night when the incident occurred.
Police say he was riding west on his Suzuki GSXR600 motorcyle when he came off the bike at Rendezvous Place and struck a telecom box.
An ambulance and road policing officers rushed to the man’s aid, but he was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.
Police in West Lothian are conducting inquiries to discover the full circumstances of this collision, and officers are appealing for anyone with information to come forward.
Sergeant Dominic Doyle, from the Lothians and Scottish Borders Road Policing Unit, said: “Our investigation so far has led us to conclude that no other vehicles have been involved but we are eager to speak with anyone who can help us establish exactly what has happened during this incident.
“Any motorists or members of the public who were in the area of the A89 on Saturday evening and who believe they have any relevant information, including dash-cam footage of the collision, should contact police immediately.
“We would like to extend our deepest sympathies to the man’s family at this very difficult time.”
