"It's believed the woman had been in the area around the BP garage for some time prior to the incident and we'd like to hear from anyone who saw a woman in the area in the time leading up to the collision.

“Likewise, we would also like to speak to anyone who may have seen the Audi being driven before the incident took place. Anyone with information is asked to contact 101 quoting reference 442200172280.

“Officers are also keen to view any dashcam footage anyone may have of the incident or the area prior to the collision.”

The road was closed for several hours while police investigated the incident but was reopened at around 5.45am on Monday.
