Police are re-appealing for witnesses and dashcam footage after a pedestrian who was seriously injured in a collision on the M1 in Leeds died in hospital yesterday (27/5).
The 67-year-old man suffered life-threatening injuries after he was involved in a collision with a Toyota Rav 4 car, about half a mile from the Junction 47 exit on the northbound carriageway at about 1.30pm on Wednesday, 21 May.
It is believed he was struck while trying to recover ladders from the carriageway after they fell from the roof of the Ford Ranger vehicle he was travelling in.
The collision is now being investigated by the Major Collision Enquiry Team, who are keen to speak to anyone who witnessed it, or anyone who saw the ladders falling on to the road.
A man who was interviewed voluntarily by officers on the same day as the collision has been released under investigation.
