Sergeant David Farr said: “Our enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances of the crash and I am appealing to anyone who may have witnessed it who hasn’t already spoken to officers to come forward.

“I would also ask anyone who may have dash-cam footage from the area around the time of the crash to contact us as it could assist with our enquiries.”

The southbound slip road from Broxden towards Edinburgh remains closed, with drivers asked to avoid the area while repairs are made.

It is expected to reopen this afternoon.
