Police are appealing for witnesses after a man died in a single-vehicle collision on the M1 in Bedfordshire.
Officers were called at around 9am on Sunday (8 March) to reports that a grey heavy tractor unit had collided with the road safety barrier on the northbound carriageway between junctions 12 and 13.

Emergency services attended, but a man in his 60s was pronounced dead at the scene. His next of kin has been informed.
Witness appeal
Detective constable Felicity Walker, from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: “First and foremost, our sincere sympathies are with the friends and family of the man who died.
“We are appealing for anyone who saw the collision or who may have dash cam footage leading up to the incident to please get in touch with us to help our investigation.”
Anyone with information or dashcam footage is asked to contact Bedfordshire Police via their website or by calling 101 and quoting Operation Leyton.
