Officers and the ambulance service attended the scene and a road closure was put in place.
The pedestrian – a local woman in her 70s – was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries.
Police Sergeant Richard Stroud, of the Roads Policing Team, said: “We are conducting a full investigation into the circumstances of the incident.
“I am appealing for any witnesses to the collision who have not already spoken with officers to please come forward.
“Also, I am keen to hear from anyone who has a dashcam fitted to their vehicle and was in the area at the time to check whether they may have captured anything of relevance that might assist our investigation.
“Finally, I would like to thank motorists for their patience and understanding during the road closure.”
