“This stretch of carriageway would have been extremely busy at this time and I know that there would have been a lot of people making their commutes to work.

“As such I would ask anyone who may have seen the vehicles involved before the collision or perhaps witnessed the collision to get in touch.

“The same goes to anyone who may have information or may have dashcam footage that they believe could assist us in piecing together what happened.”
