A STRETCH of the M1 motorway in Northamptonshire was closed today after a female pedestrian was killed after a collision with a lorry.
Traffic was brought to a standstill as a result of the collision on the southbound carriageway of the M1 near Newport Pagnell services.
The northbound carriageway was also temporarily closed to allow the air ambulance to land. Both carriageways are now open.
The pedestrian, a woman who is believed to be in her forties, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Sgt Simon Hills, from the Roads Policing Department, said: “It appears that the woman was in lane one of the carriageway at the time she was struck.
“We also found a grey Audi A3 parked on the hard shoulder close to the scene, which we believe belongs to the victim. It has suffered recent damage, but this was not caused by the lorry.”
Anyone with any information who saw the collision with the pedestrian or who saw a collision involving a grey Audi A3 S-Line on the M1 can contact Sgt Hills via the Police Enquiry Centre on 101.
