A bus has crashed into the front of a house in West Lothian.

The coach, believed to be a school bus, went into the front of an unoccupied house in Main Street, East Whitburn at about 07:40 on Friday morning.

Witnesses told the BBC the driver, who is in his 70s, had been thrown from his seat and become trapped against the bus passenger door and a wall.

The driver has been freed by fire crews and is receiving medical treatment for minor injuries.

The bus was moved from the street and roads reopened just after midday.
