Officers closed the road for several hours to allow for a collision investigation to be carried out at the scene and it was reopened around 3.20am on Sunday, 25 April.
Sergeant John Bradford of Police Scotland’s Road Policing Unit said: “Our enquiries into the cause of the crash are continuing and I would urge anyone who saw what happened, and has not yet spoken to officers, to come forward.
“I would also ask motorists who were using the A737 last night and either saw the vehicles involved, or that may have been recording via dash-cam to check their systems and provide any relevant footage to us as soon as possible.”
Anyone with information should contact police on 101 quoting incident number 4240 of 24 April.
