Policeman dies after road crash
A policeman was killed in West Lothian when he was knocked down while investigating an earlier road accident.
A spokesman for Lothian and Borders Police said the 39-year-old was hit by a van in West Main Street, Broxburn, at about 0700 GMT on Saturday.
Accident investigators from another force have been called in to carry out an inquiry into what happened and pass the findings to the procurator fiscal.
The victim's name was not being released until his family were told.
Road closed
Police said the van driver would not be interviewed until he had recovered from the shock he suffered.
The road was closed and diversions were set up.
The policeman was hit as he examined the scene of an accident which had happened four hours earlier, when a car collided with three parked vehicles.
Police investigating the crash want to trace the driver of a BMW.

The same force lost an officer to a crash on the 5th of January too. Bad year for them already.

RIP my fallen brother.
Being the best is not what always counts. What counts is always trying your best.
Remember who you are, and where you came from. That way you never get a big head.
May those that lost their lives in 9-11 RIP, for the things you did not many could do. You left so many behind so that you could save so few. For now we stand strong as one, and will not look back till the fight is done. (me)
