Two men who died when a car crashed in West Lothian early on Saturday have been named by police.

Troi Lawton, 23 and 19-year-old Connor Elgey, both from Bathgate, were passengers in the car which left the A706 at Whitburn.

Two other men, aged 52 and 28 who were also passengers in the Subaru Impreza remain in a critical condition at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary.

The 25-year-old driver, who was also injured, was arrested after the crash.

In a statement Connor Elgey's family said: "We are devastated by the tragic loss of Connor. His loss will be sorely felt by many."

Troi Lawton's family said: "We are all devastated and still in shock, we would not wish this upon anyone never mind our broken-hearted family."

Police Scotland said the driver of the car was arrested in connection with road traffic offences but later released pending further inquiries.

Police investigators remained at the scene on Sunday

Insp Roger Park, of Lothians Road Policing Unit, said: "Our thoughts remain with the families of both Troi and Connor at this difficult time.

"Our investigation into the circumstances surrounding the crash continues."

The road was closed for about 12 hours near the scene of the crash for investigation work.

Floral tributes to the young men who died were left there on Saturday as investigators continued their work.

A report will be sent to the procurator fiscal.
