A pensioner has died and another man taken to hospital after a three-vehicle crash in West Lothian.

Emergency services were called to Blackridge’s Harthill Road at 9.40am on Monday after a Vauxhall Combo was involved in a crash with a parked Mazda 3 and a Citroen Berlingo van.

The 78-year-old driver of the Vauxhall was pronounced dead at the scene, Police Scotland said, and the van driver was taken to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh as a precaution.

Sergeant Kosmas Papakyriakou said: ā€œWe are carrying out inquiries to establish the full circumstances of what happened and would like to speak to anyone who has not already been in touch with officers.

ā€œIf you saw anything that could help of have dashcam footage that could assist our investigation then please get in touch.ā€
