The driver of the Dacia, a 55-year-old woman, was not injured in the collision.
Officers closed the road until 3.20am this morning while they carried out a collision investigation.
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.
