"The road is expected to be closed for the next few hours."
They then published an update a couple of hours later, stating on X (formerly Twitter) just after 8pm that they were "dealing with a serious collision involving a car and a pedestrian.
"The road remains closed while the collision investigation team carry out their enquiries."
They were finally able to reopen the road shortly before 10pm, thanking the public for their patience.
