A man tragically died after he was hit by a truck on a busy Glasgow motorway.
The 39-year-old pedestrian was struck by red Scania HGV on the M74 near the on-ramp from Polmadie, Junction 1A, at roughly 11.35pm on Saturday, June 3. Emergency services attended, but the victim was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.
The road was closed for roughly five hours while a investigation was carried out and reopened at 5am. Police are now urging anyone who may have witnessed the incident or has dashcam footage to get in touch.
Sergeant Chris Hoggans, Glasgow Road Policing, said: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the man who has died. Despite the time of night, the M74 was still busy with traffic and our enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances surrounding the crash.
“I would like to speak to anyone who was in the area and may have seen what happened. I am also appealing for anyone with relevant dash-cam footage to get in touch on 101, quoting incident 5187 of 3 June, 2023.”
