“Our inquiries are continuing to establish the full circumstances and we are keen to speak to anyone who can assist who has not already spoken to officers.

“We are asking road users who were in the area at the time to check their dashcam to see if they have captured anything that could help with our investigation.”

Anyone who can help is asked to call Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 2432 of Monday December 30.
