A man has died following a collision on the Nuthall Interchange junction off the M1.
Emergency services were called to Junction 26 slip road heading Northbound at 6.41pm yesterday evening (11 July).
A man in his 50s died at the scene of the five-vehicle collision.
Other individuals involved in the crash were taken to hospital suffering a range of serious injuries.
The Northbound and Southbound junctions were closed whilst emergency services supported those involved and carried out investigations, and have since re-opened from 5.15am this morning (12 July).
Officers investigating the incident are now appealing for anyone who may have witnessed the incident, or has any dash-cam footage, to get in touch.
Investigation Officer Sophie Law, of Nottinghamshire Police’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said:
“This was a tragic incident and we have specialist officers supporting the man’s family at this incredibly sad time.
“Our investigation continues and we ask anyone who saw the collision or who has any information that could help to contact us as soon as possible.
“We’d be keen to hear from people driving in the area around the time it happened who may have dash cam footage.
“I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank the members of the public who were on scene at the time of the incident and went out of their way to heroically help people involved in the collision.
“We know that this caused a significant backlog of traffic on the M1, so we appreciate the patience of those who were caught in it as officers worked.”
