Detectives from the force’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit (SCIU) are appealing for motorists with dashcams to come forward following a fatal collision on the M1.
At around 6.45pm yesterday (Tuesday 31 May) emergency services were called to a stretch of the southbound motorway between junctions 22 and 21a, following a report a pedestrian had been struck by a heavy goods vehicle.
Officers attended but the man – who is in his 40s – was pronounced dead at the scene. The road was closed for several hours while further enquiries were undertaken at the scene.
No-one has been arrested in connection with the incident.
Detective Constable Kasie Carter, from the SCIU, said: “While we have spoken to a number of people already, I would ask anyone who saw the collision occur to come forward.
“I’m particularly keen to speak to any motorists with a dashcam in their vehicle or anyone who saw the man prior to the collision. Any information you have, no matter how insignificant you think it is, could help.”
