West Lothian police hunt driver after hit-and-run killed 'much-loved family man'

Police are trying to trace a car after a fatal hit-and-run collision in West Lothian.

George Robertson, 53, died after he was hit by a vehicle which failed to stop on the B792 Torphichen to Bathgate road at about 10.50pm on Sunday September 20.

Mr Robertson, who was described as a “much-loved family man”, died at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary a short time after the incident.

Police Scotland say they have carried out “extensive” inquiries into the crash and are now looking to trace a dark Nissan Qashqai which was on the road at around the time of the incident.

Inspector Peter Houston 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."

“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.”
