Sergeant Lee Westhead, of GMP’s Serious Collision Unit, said: “My thoughts are with the victim’s family who are being looked after by specially trained officers at this difficult time.

“Whilst we work to uncover how this has happened and piece together the moments before the collision, I am asking the public to help in any way that they can.

“If you were in the area at approximately 5.25pm on December 1 and saw a pedestrian on the motorway, or have dashcam images, please get in touch and share this information.”

Anyone with information should contact GMP on 101.
