Investigation after motorist dies in M1 crash

A police investigation is underway after a man died following a crash on the M1 in our area.

Emergency services were called to a collision between a lorry and a car south of Junction 27 at 4.04am today (21 September).

A 27-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene.

Officers have arrested a 47-year-old man on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and drug-driving. He has been bailed pending further inquiries.

The motorway remained shut between junction 26 and 27 for 12 hours while investigations took place and road closures are now in the final process of being lifted.  Traffic between the junctions is starting to re-flow.

Detective Constable Christopher Taylor, of Nottinghamshire Police’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said:

“This is a tragic incident and our thoughts are with this man’s family and his loved ones at an incredibly distressing time.

“They are being supported by specially trained officers.

“Our investigation into the causes of the collision are at a very early stage and I would urge anyone who witnessed the incident or with relevant dashcam footage to get in touch.”

Anyone who can assist should call police on 101, quoting incident number 108 of 21 September 2024, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
