.An appeal for witnesses has been launched and Detective Sergeant Paul Hughes from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit said: “Unfortunately we are dealing with a very serious collision and we are working with partner agencies to establish what caused this collision. Our thoughts are with the family of the man who sadly passed away.

“The road has now reopened and I would like to thank everyone for their patience with the closures while we gathered evidence and made the road safe.

“I would ask anyone who witnessed the collision or who has a dash cam and hasn’t spoken to us yet to come forward with any information you may have, no matter how small.”
