Officers and emergency services attended the scene where the man was pronounced dead. The driver of the car, a purple Rolls Royce, stopped after the incident had taken place.
Detective Constable Chris May of the Serious Collision Investigation Unit (SCIU), said: “This is very busy section of road and I am sure there would be a number of people who witnessed the collision or the events leading up to it.
