Sergeant Craig McDonald, of Motherwell Road Policing Unit, said: “Our enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances of the crash. We are particularly keen to speak to the driver of the car involved, who did stop at the scene, but has not yet spoken to officers.

“I am asking anyone who may have witnessed the crash or was in the area around the time of the crash to get in touch.

“I would also ask if there are any other motorists with possible dashcam footage or anyone with information that may help with our investigation to contact police.”
