"Our enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances and I am appealing for anyone who witnessed the crash, and who has not already spoken to officers, to get in touch.

"I would also appeal to anyone who was driving in this area around that time and who may have dash cam footage which could assist us to contact us."

The accident involved a black Ford KA and a green DAF articulated lorry.
