A woman in her 50s has been spoken to by police and is assisting with enquiries.

PC Steve Wootton from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit said:

“Our thoughts and condolences are with the family and loved ones of the man who sadly died following the collision.

“Our enquiries continue, and we are keen to speak to the driver a small white car / van which was travelling from the direction of Heathgates roundabout and turned right into First Avenue seconds before the collision.

“They weren’t involved in the incident but could have key information or dashcam footage to assist with our investigation.

“We would also like to hear from anyone else who we have not yet spoken to and witnessed the collision itself or could have dashcam footage of the vehicle involved in the moments before.”
