A man has died after being hit by a car on the M1 while he was 'trying to recover ladders from the carriageway'.
The 67-year-old had been left 'seriously injured' after a collision on the motorway in Leeds on Wednesday, May 21.
West Yorkshire Police say the incident happened on the northbound carriageway near the exit for Junction 47 shortly at around 1.30pm and involved a Toyota Rav4 car and the man.
It is believed the man, who was a passenger in a Ford Ranger parked on the hard shoulder, had been attempting to recover ladders from the busy carriageway when he was struck.
Responders rushed the 67-year-old to hospital where he sadly died today.
