Detective Sergeant Adam Cooper said: “Our investigation into this incident is well underway and we are working to establish the circumstances around how a man came to lose his life.

“Clearly this is a very serious matter and I would encourage anyone who saw what happened and has not yet spoken to the police to come forward. If you were in the area at the time, please check any dashcam footage and help us to find answers for the man’s family.”

If you have information that could help call 101, quoting incident number 470.
