A four-year-old boy dies in hospital after being injured in a Range Rover crash on a country road near Bathgate, West Lothian. The collision happens on Drumcross Road at about 4.30pm and the road is closed while police investigate.
Police say the boy was a passenger and that the driver, a 28-year-old man, is injured and taken from the scene for treatment. The child is transported by ambulance to St John’s Hospital in Livingston, where he dies shortly afterwards. Family members are informed.
Several outlets report police appeal for witnesses, including anyone who saw the crash and drivers with dashcam footage from the area. Police ask people to contact Police Scotland with an incident reference. While most coverage is aligned on the location, time, and fatality, some headlines add descriptors such as the “horror” framing, refer to the vehicle as black, or vary in wording, but the core facts match across reports.
