'One of a kind' man, 20, killed in three-car crash as Storm Boelo battered UK Arran Callander, 20, was killed along with an 84-year-old man in a crash involving three cars on the B708 Lower Bathville road, in Bathgate, West Lothian A "one of a kind" 20-year-old man who was one of two people killed in a horror crash involving three cars has been named as his family and friends paid tribute. Arran Callander was the driver of a white BMW that collided with a blue Citroen Saxo and a blue Peugeot 208 on the B708 Lower Bathville road, in Bathgate, West Lothian, at around 12.15pm on Sunday. He died at the scene alongside the 84-year-old male driver of the Peugeot who has not yet been named. The passenger of the BMW, a 19-year-old man, was taken to hospital for treatment, and the occupants of the Citroen, a 20-year-old man and a 23-year-old woman, were assessed by paramedics at the scene. Arran's sister, Angela, led the tributes to the young man who was described as "one of a kind". She said: "You will be so missed by so many. It's not sunk in. I want to see you again. It's like I'm dreaming. Thinking of everyone affected by the crash, Love you so much, forever and always. Fly high." Many other people have also spoken fondly of Arran, with Amelie Johansen writing: "I'm never going to get my head around this. My longest friend. The memories we’ve shared along with all the laughs we’ve had will always be at the front of my mind. "I'll never forget your one liners. You had everyone laughing. You really were one of a kind, Arran. None of this feels real and I don't think it ever will. The grief that has come with this is unbearable. Until we meet again, Arran. I love you loads." While Katie Cummings said: "Thoughts to Arran's family. He was always lovely when he came into my work," and Ashley Forrest shared: "Heartbreaking for all involved, thinking of A and his family. Such a lovely young man." Other messages included from Lauren Cawley who said: "Lost for words. Rest easy, Arran. Absolutely gutted," Caitlin Logan wrote: "Rest easy Arran. Young life taken far too soon" and Cole Mckillop penned: "Rest easy Arran forever childhood best mates." The tragedy unfolded as an amber weather warning for Storm Boelo was in place until Sunday evening across most of Scotland. Images taken from the scene show a large cordon in place as officers scour the crash site. The road was closed to allow crash investigation work to take place and cops are appealing for anyone with information to come forward. Sergeant Dave Waddell said: “Our thoughts are with the families and friends of the two men who have died, and everyone affected by this incident. “Our enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances, and we are appealing to anyone who witnessed the crash to please contact us. In addition, anyone with relevant dash-cam footage is asked to get in touch as this may be able to assist.”
