Buildings were evacuated after a crash at a Scots petrol station sparked a suspected gas leak.
Emergency services scrambled to the Morrisons garage off Alderstone Road in Armadale, Livingston, after the alarm was raised at around 7.45pm on Sunday, April 24.
A picture take from the scene showed a mini bus smashed into the petrol pump, with a silver hackney taxi also involved.
Officers were alerted to a three-vehicle smash at a petrol pump at the station.
Nearby buildings were quickly evacuated as a precaution following a suspected gas leak caused by the collision.

The roads between Adambrae, Almondvale and Newpark Road roundabouts were closed off, as was Alderstone Road.

Thankfully there were no serious injuries reported and the area was declared safe at around 12.50am this morning.
