Two West Lothian men killed in M9 crash

Two men from West Lothian have died after a crash on the M9 on Saturday (March 17).

34-year-old Christopher Brown, from Bathgate, and 56-year-old John Turner, from Armadale, were killed when the car they were travelling in left the road near Plean at around 6:50am.

Emergency services were called but both men were pronounced dead at the scene. A third man from the vehicle was taken to hospital with minor injuries.

Sergeant David Marr of Forth Valley Road Policing Unit said: "My sympathies go out to the families and friends of Christopher and John and specially trained officers continue to provide them with support at this difficult time.

"Inquiries into the collision are ongoing and I would continue to appeal for anyone who may have seen the Toyota travelling eastbound on the M9 prior to the incident, or anyone who saw it leave the road around a mile east of the Bannockburn Interchange, to please come forward."
