The road was closed to allow crash investigations to be carried out and reopened around 10pm.
Enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances and officers are appealing for witnesses.
Road Policing Sergeant Chris Hoggans said: “My thoughts are with the family and friends of the man who died following this incident.
“We know from enquiries so far that the road was busy at the time and a lot of people will have witnessed the crash. I’m particularly keen to trace the driver of a white vehicle, possibly a Honda Civic, who may have seen what happened.
“I would urge anyone with information or who saw the vehicles prior to the crash to get in touch with us. Similarly, anyone with dash cam footage of the A719 near Crossroads from around 2.40pm on Saturday, please come forward.”
Anyone with information should contact police on 101 quoting reference 2472 of 17 June, 2023.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
