Woman And Baby Taken To Hospital Following Road Smash In Livingston
A woman is seriously injured after a crash between a car and a transit van in West Lothian this morning.
Police in West Lothian are appealing for witnesses following a serious road traffic collision on the A89, Dechmont Roundabout to Station Road, in Livingston.
The collision occurred around 9.45am today when a grey Citroen Berlingo travelling eastbound collided with a white Ford Transit van travelling westbound.
The Scottish Fire & Rescue Service and the Scottish Ambulance Service also attended and the 49-year-old female driver of the Citroen was taken to the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary with serious injuries.
The driver of the Ford was uninjured and a baby boy, who was a passenger in the Citroen, has been taken to the Sick Kid’s Hospital as a precaution.
Traffic is currently diverted through Dechmont Village to allow emergency services to carry out the necessary investigations at the scene.
Sgt Vinnie Fisher of the Road Policing Unit said: “We’re appealing for any witnesses who have not yet come forward to contact us. We are especially eager to speak to the driver of a white minibus that had red writing on the sides, and was travelling behind the Ford Transit Van at the time of the collision.”
