A MAN has died after a van overturned and collided with a barrier on the M1 this morning.
At 7.10am, it was reported that a van had overturned and been in collision with a barrier on the M1 southbound between junctions 34 and 35.
Emergency services attended but the 61-year-old driver died at the scene.
His family members have been informed and are being supported specialist officers.
A police spokesperson said: “An investigation is underway and anyone with information is asked to contact 101 quoting incident number 164 of April 10.”
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
