Officers are appealing for witnesses for information.

Police are still investigating the collision and are keen to hear from anyone who was on the A66 at 5:50pm on Sunday who has dashcam footage from their journey.

We would also like to make contact with a HGV towing a white curtain sided trailer who was not involved in the collision but was near when the collision occurred and may be able to assist our enquiries.
