An investigation into the collision is ongoing and officers are appealing for witnesses to come forward.
Police believe the driver of a white van who was in the area around the time of the crash could help their probe.

"It’s imperative we establish the full circumstances of the collision and our investigation remains ongoing.
“We are keen to hear from the driver of a white van who was in the area around the time of the incident and we would ask them to get in touch with us as we believe they could assist with our ongoing investigation.”
Anyone with information is asked to call Police Scotland via 101, quoting incident number 3122 of May 10.
