Police in West Lothian continue to seek information about New Year's Day fatality on the M8

Police are still appealing for the occupants of a white car to come forward after a man died on the M8 at West Lothian on New Year’s Day.

Road policing officers are asking the public to come forward with any information after the pedestrian was struck by a number of vehicles on the M8 between junction 3A and 4 for Blackburn.

The incident happened on the westbound carriageway around 2.45am on Friday, January 1 and the 44-year-old man died at the scene.

The road was closed while collision investigation work was carried out and re-opened around 11am.

Police Scotland told The Courier, as of January 5, they are still looking for the driver of the white car and appealing to the public for more information.

Sergeant Jill Kirkpatrick said: “I would like to thank everyone who has helped us so far with our enquiries to establish the full circumstances of what happened and I am appealing to anyone else who may have seen this incident to get in touch.

“In particular we are keen to speak to the occupants of a white coloured car seen at the time of the collision and anyone else who may have dash-cam footage that could help with our enquiries.

“If you can help please contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 1066 of Friday, 1 January, 2020.”
