The road was closed for five hours while investigations into the incident were carried out. It reopened around 10.20pm. Police are now appealing for any witnesses to come forward.

“We would also like to speak to anyone else who was in the area and may have seen what happened, including road users with dash-cam footage that might help our investigation.
