The driver of an off-duty bus has been charged after a crash in West Lothian which ripped the roof off the vehicle.
The 59-year-old driver hit a railway bridge on the B7010, otherwise known as Shotts Road, near Fauldhouse rail station at about 5.55am on Monday.
No injuries were reported and the road has since reopened.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 5.55am on Monday, March 11, officers received a report of a bus crashing into a bridge on the B7010, Fauldhouse.
“There were no reported injuries.
“Arrangements were made for the bus to be recovered and the road is open.
“A 59-year-old man has been charged and will be reported to the procurator fiscal.”
