He said: “Sadly the man was pronounced dead at the scene and I offer my heartfelt condolences to his family.

“We are urging anybody who may have been travelling in the area around the time of the collision and who may have dash cam to contact us.

“We are particularly keen on speaking to anybody who may have seen the Corsa being driven prior to the initial collision.

“Our enquiries are underway and anybody who may be able to assist with the investigation should contact us immediately.”

The road re-opened shortly before 10am this morning.

Anyone with information or who may have dash cam footage is asked to contact officers at the Western Roads Policing Unit in Llandygai on 101, quoting incident number 20000468294.
