A police spokesperson said: “The investigation is underway and as yet the full circumstances of the incident are not yet confirmed.

“The collision happened when the street lights were not illuminated, in hours of darkness, where there is no pavement.”

The road was closed for a number of hours whilst the incident was dealt with.

Two men are assisting police with their enquiries.
