An 81-year-old woman has died after she was hit by a van.

Sergeant Scott Kirkpatrick, of the Roads Policing Unit in Livingston, said: “Our thoughts are with the woman’s family and friends at this difficult time.

“We are carrying out inquiries to establish the full circumstances and would urge anyone with information which could help to get in touch.

“We would also be keen to speak to anyone who may have dashcam footage from the area on Tuesday evening.

“Anyone who can help is asked to call 101, quoting reference 2701 of 25 January.”
