Police launch appeal after pedestrian dies on M11

A pedestrian in his 20s has died after being struck by a car on the M11.

The incident happened at just after 8.30pm between junction 11 at Trumpington and junction 12 for the A603 on Friday (April 8).

Emergency services attended but the pedestrian, a man in his 20s, died at the scene.

The driver of the car, a 21-year-old man from Wisbech, failed a roadside drugs test and was arrested on suspicion of causing death through careless driving. He has since been released under investigation.

Sergeant Ian Manley said: “This is a terribly sad incident and our thoughts go out to this man’s family and friends.

“We are keen to hear from anyone who was driving in the area around the time of the incident and who may have dashcam footage of the moments leading up to it.”

Anyone with information is urged to contact police via web chat or by calling 101, quoting incident number 453 of 8 April.
