"We have already spoken to a number of people but would appeal for any witnesses who have not already spoken to officers to come forward.”

Anyone with any information should contact Police via 101, quoting incident number 4073 of Friday, August 27.

Sgt Livesey added: “Think back, did you see the pedestrian in the area before the collision? He was wearing a dark blue coloured zipped jacket, brown chinos and black shoes.

“Or were you driving in the area and could have dash-cam footage that can help us?”
