Drivers were delayed for hours on the M8 in West Lothian after the motorway was closed in both directions over "concern for a person".

Police urged motorists to avoid the area at Junction 3a near Bathgate after officers were sent out at 18:10.

Hundreds of drivers were caught in four-mile tailbacks before the road reopened at 20:30.

Police Scotland said the incident had been "resolved safely".
