The cyclist who was also involved in the crash is understood not to have required any medical attention after the collision.

Sergeant Dave Waddell said: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the man who died.

“Our enquiries are ongoing and we are appealing for anyone who was in the area and who witnessed the crash to get in touch. I would also appeal to anyone who was driving in the area and who may have dash-cam footage which could assist to contact us.
