Sergeant David Ross is appealing for information.

He said: "This is a busy area and I would appeal to anyone who witnessed the crash who has not yet spoken to police to contact us.

"I would also appeal to drivers on the road at the time who have dash-cam footage to come forward too.

"Anyone with information that may assist our investigation into this crash should contact 101 with reference number 1792 of 17 January."
