A PEDESTRIAN has been killed after apparently walking into the path of a lorry on the M1 motorway.
The incident happened at around 4.50pm on Wednesday on the Belfast-bound carriageway just past the Lurgan junction.
The man's name has not been released but it is understood he stepped out in front of the lorry.
Police said that the man died as the result of a single-vehicle collision involving a lorry and added that there "were no reports of any other injuries".
The M1 was closed in both directions to allow the air ambulance and emergency services to attend the scene.
Officers have appealed for anyone with information to contact 101.
Inspector Gary Irvine said: "We are keen to speak to anyone who saw a Black Saab Vector on the M1 travelling eastbound before the collision was reported.
"We are also keen to hear from anyone who saw a male on the M1 in this area prior to the collision.
"I would appeal to anyone who witnessed the collision, or anyone who has a dash cam in their vehicle to check their footage."
Meanwhile, it is believed that a man who died in a five-vehicle crash in Belfast last month was the driver of a car travelling the wrong way.
The pile-up occurred on the southbound carriage of the M3 near Duncrue shortly before 4pm on Sunday July 22.
Three others who were injured have since been discharged from hospital.
The PSNI said it had received reports of a "a silver car travelling in the wrong direction on the M3 from the Sydenham bypass towards the M2".
Police said they are trying to "establish where this vehicle joined the M3 and its subsequent movements prior to the collision" and have appealed for anyone with information or dash cam footage to contact 101.
