Police are appealing for information after a man died in a collision on the M65.
They were called at about 9pm on Friday, after a pedestrian was involved in a collision with an HGV and a number of other vehicles on the carriageway between junctions 5 and 6 of the M65 Eastbound.
The man, in his 40s, was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.
Sgt Pete Fyans, of the Road Policing Unit, said: “This collision has sadly resulted in a man’s death and would appeal to anyone who either saw what happened or who has any dashcam or mobile footage to get in touch.
“I am very aware of the significant disruption closing the motorway will have caused but I hope people will understand why we have needed to do this as we dealt with what was an extremely complex and traumatic incident and I would like to thank people for their co-operation and understanding.”
If you have any footage or information, please get in touch by calling 101 and quoting log 1512 of September 6.
