Enquiries carried out so far have established a white car was on the road at the time of the incident and officers are appealing for the driver and occupants of this car to contact them.
PC Milloy said: “We are keen to speak to anyone who witnessed this collision who have yet to speak to us. In particular, we would like to speak to the occupants of a white vehicle which initially stopped at the scene but drove off before police arrival, we would ask the driver and occupants of this car to contact us.”
Anyone with information or who may have dash cam footage is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101 regarding incident 1890 of Saturday 11 September, 2021.
