A man has been killed on the N3 at the Nottingham Road offramp after it is alleged he ran into the road as a truck drove by.
At this stage it is still under investigation as to why the man was in the road in the first place, but the large 18 wheeler was unable to stop and collided into the man with full force. The ER24 paramedics at the scene described the man’s injuries as horrific. He was hardly recognisable due to the severe injuries that he had sustained. The man of unknown age was declared dead at the scene.
The driver of the truck said that the man was all of a sudden right in front of the truck and he could not stop. The truck driver was left with no physical injuries.
The police have taken over the scene and will conduct all necessary investigations.
