A man has died after being struck by a lorry on the M1 motorway.
The collision happened just before 5 yesterday evening.
Inspector Gary Irvine said: “The single-vehicle collision involving a lorry occurred around 4:50pm, eastbound on the M1, just past the Lurgan junction. There were no reports of any other injuries.
“We are working to establish what happened and we are keen to speak to anyone who saw a Black Saab Vector on the M1 travelling eastbound before the collision was reported. We are also keen to hear from anyone who saw a male on the M1 in this area prior to the collision.
"Following the collision, the westbound lanes were closed but have since reopened. However, Junctions 10 and 9 remain closed eastbound and traffic is being diverted through Lurgan.
"I would appeal to anyone who witnessed the collision, or anyone who has a dash cam in their vehicle to check their footage. Anyone who has information which may assist our investigation is asked to contact the Collision Investigation Unit at Sprucefield on the non-emergency number 101, quoting reference 944 of 01/08/18.”
