“The road was closed for around seven hours yesterday, to allow for an investigation at the scene, and we are continuing work today to establish the full circumstances of the collision.

“In particular, we would be keen to speak with anyone who may have witnessed the collision itself, or who may have seen any of the vehicles involved prior to the incident. We would also be keen to receive any potential dashcam footage from the area.”

Anyone with information, or who could help the investigation, is urged to call Police on 101, quoting incident 2776 of 13 November.
