Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Bedfordshire Police said a Renault articulated lorry was on the M1 southbound at around 3.30am, when it was in a crash with two other lorries.
The driver of the Renault lorry, who is believed to be a 62-year-old man from Skegness in Lincolnshire, died.
He has not been named by police, and family liaison officers are supporting his family.
Police have appealed for anyone who witnessed the crash, which happened on the M1 southbound just north of junction 13 and forced a stretch of the busy motorway to be closed in both directions, to contact them.
An investigation is under way and the road is now open, a Bedfordshire Police spokeswoman said.
An inquest will be opened and adjourned in due course, after which the victim will be named.
Anyone with information should contact Pc Bob Hauxwell, in the Collision Investigation Unit, on 01438 757500, text to 07786 200011 or telephone Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
