Man dies after crash on M6 near Wigan
The incident happened on Sunday afternoon
Police are appealing for information after a man died following an incident on the M6 yesterday afternoon (12th January).
Lancashire Police say they received reports of a collision involving a pedestrian, an Audi A8 and two Scania HGVs in the Hunger Hill area between Junction 27 (Standish) and Junction 28 (Leyland) just after 3pm yesterday.
The man, in his 30s, was pronounced dead at the scene and police are requesting any footage which could assist their enquiries.
Sgt Laura Kendall, of Lancashire Police's Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said:
“A man has very sadly lost his life following this collision, and first and foremost, our thoughts are with his loved ones at this very upsetting time.
“The motorway was closed for quite a significant amount of time, and I would like to thank those who waited patiently as our officers carried out their enquiries.
“We know the motorway network will have been busy at that time, so if you witnessed the incident, or if you have dashcam footage between J27 and J28, between 2:45pm and 3:05pm, please do get in touch with us.”
The man's loved ones are being supported by the police's specially trained Family Liason Officers.
