A section of road between the Ballakillowey roundabout and the Ballakilpheric junction was closed while a full investigation was carried out but it has since reopened.
Inspector Kinley said a number of people have already been spoken to as part of the inquiries but police would like to hear from anyone else who may have been in the area just prior to, or at, the time of the collision.
