A man dies after running across the M56 motorway while fleeing on foot during a police chase. Police officers are reported to have pursued him, after which he runs onto the carriageway. He is pronounced dead at the scene after being struck by a vehicle.
The outlets report the incident occurs on Saturday night. The M56 is closed in both directions for several hours while police investigate and manage the response. One report also says a further driver is arrested in connection with the incident, while another focuses on the death following the collision. The exact circumstances of the chase and how the vehicle hits him are described differently across the coverage, but all accounts agree the man’s death follows the stop involving police and the subsequent crash on the motorway.
