Police in West Lothian appeal for information after a fatal collision on the M8

Police in West Lothian are appealing for information following a fatal road crash.

The incident happened around 6.20pm on Tuesday October 20 on the M8 eastbound between junctions 4 and 3a near the Pyramids Business Park at Bathgate.

A white Peugeot Boxer van collided with a pedestrian. Emergency services attended and a 33-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene.

The road was closed for around seven hours to allow a full collision investigation to take place.

Sergeant Andrew Trotter, of Road Policing East, said: “Our thoughts go out to the family and friends of those involved in this incident.

“We are currently conducting enquires to establish the full circumstances surrounding the crash and are appealing to members of the public who may have any information that could help with our investigation.

“The road would have been busy with other motorists at the time and I would ask if you witnessed the collision or have any information that you contact officers.

“I would also ask if you have any dashcam footage of the area that you come forward and speak to police.

“Police can be contacted by calling 101 and quoting incident number 2613 of Tuesday October 20.”
