The man, aged 94, and woman, aged 84, who had been walking at the time, were both pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigating officer, Detective Constable Nigel Doyle, of the Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: “We are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed what happened to please come forward.
“We’d also ask anyone with dash-cams who was in the area around the time of the collision to check any footage in case it may have captured something that could assist with the investigation.
