The road was closed to allow emergency services to attend to the injured man, examine the scene and to recover the vehicle.

It reopened at around 5.52am.

Officers want to hear from anyone who witnessed the collision or who saw the vehicle or pedestrian in the area around the time of the incident.

The pedestrian was wearing distinctive red trousers and had been on the same side of the road as the BP garage prior to the collision.
