Police closed the road in both directions overnight while investigations took place[1] but it fully reopened at 10.40am today (April 4). Detective Sergeant Paul Clark, of Nottinghamshire Police's Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: "The man's family will be supported by specialist officers following this tragic incident and our thoughts are with them.

"We'd still like to hear from anyone with any relevant dashcam footage of the incident who has not yet spoken to an officer, or anyone who may have witnessed the incident."
