Officers say the pensioner suffered serious injuries and remains in hospital while he receives treatment. The road was closed for five hours to allow for an investigation at the scene.

Road Policing Inspector Stephen Quinn said: “I am appealing to anyone who was in the area at the time of the crash or who may have seen either the pedestrian or the vehicle prior to the incident to get in touch.
