A tree has fallen onto a car during Storm Chandra as a road in West Lothian was closed to drivers.

Police Scotland said the B9080 is closed between Bridgend and Threemiletown after a tree fell on a car around 1.15pm on Tuesday.

There were no reports of any injuries, and drivers are being asked to avoid the area.

West Lothian Council said the tree also brought a column down on the road.

It comes after a lorry overturned on the A82 near Loch Tulla during high winds.

There were no reported injuries, and disruption to drivers was kept to a minimum, according to BEAR Scotland.

Three weather warnings come into force across the Western Isles, the Borders, the Lothians, Strathclyde, Grampian, Fife, Tayside and the Highlands on Tuesday.

Winds of between 50 to 60mph are set to strike Dumfries and Galloway, Argyll and Bute and South Ayrshire from 5am on Tuesday until shortly before midnight.

Meanwhile, a yellow alert for snow and rain has been issued for the Lothians, Borders and Strathclyde between 12am and 5pm.
