Police appeal for information following the death of a man on the M602, Eccles

Shortly  after 2.30am on Tuesday 28^th December police received reports of a pedestrian being  hit by a vehicle on the Manchester bound carriageway of the M602 motorway close to the Regent Road roundabout.

Police attended and found a 30-year-old man who sadly died of his injuries a short time later in hospital. 

His family has been informed and our thoughts are with them at this difficult time.

The driver stopped at the scene, and is assisting police with the investigation. No arrests have been made, and the road has since reopened.

If anyone witnessed, or has dash cam footage of this incident, or saw a pedestrian on the motorway around that time, please contact the Serious Collision Investigation Unit on 0161 856 4741 quoting log 286 of 28/12/21.
