Sadly, one man was pronounced dead at the scene. A four-year-old boy was also treated for minor injuries.

Road closures were in place in the surrounding area while officers dealt with the incident, but all have since reopened.

PC John Blood, investigating the incident, said: “It’s always tragic when someone loses their life on the county’s roads and we would urge anyone with information which could help us piece together the circumstances surrounding the incident to get in touch.”
