It came about 16 hours after a serious crash on the same road, when a 78-year-old man was left seriously hurt after a crash involving a suspected drug driver.
Police said a 36-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving and drug driving, following the incident at 9.30am yesterday.
He has since been released under investigation.

Officers are asking any witnesses who may have dash cam footage to come forward.
