Detective Constable Seamus Burns said: "We are appealing for anyone with information about the collision to call us and help with our inquiries.
"We would also like to speak to anyone who saw either of the vehicles in the area before the incident.
"At that time, visibility would have been good and, as it was the weekend, there may have been more people on the road. "We hope this will increase the likelihood of there being a witness."
