The injured man was taken to hospital where he later sadly died.

Officers investigating the collision identified the vehicle as a black Audi A5. The 29 year old male driver was travelling with a 27 year old female passenger.

I can’t imagine what they must be going through. We have made two arrests however our investigation is still in its early stages.
