Sergeant John Learmonth from Perth Road Policing Department said: “Our investigation into this collision is continuing and I would appeal to any witnesses who have not yet spoken to police, or anyone with information, to contact us.
“I would also ask anyone driving on this road at the time of the crash or just before it took place who has dash-cam footage to speak to officers as this may assist our enquiry.”
Anyone with information should contact Road Policing Officers at Perth through 101 with reference 3335 of December 6, 2021.
