The male driver of the lorry was uninjured. Both the road and bridge were closed for several hours to allow officers to carry out their investigation.

Chief Inspector Richard Ross said: “We are continuing to piece together exactly what has happened and I am appealing to anyone who was in the area at the time, who has not spoken to us, to get in touch. If anyone has any dashcam footage, we would ask that you pass it on as it could assist us in our investigation.”

Anyone with information is asked to call Police Scotland via 101, quoting incident number 0482 of 12 September.
