A loud "bang" was heard before police closed a "dangerous road" where a man was killed.
The ECHO previously reported police were called to the eastbound carriageway of Princess Way in Seaforth at around 11.15pm on Wednesday, January 11. At the scene they found a man had been hit by a HGV.
Despite best efforts from emergency workers, the 43-year-old man died from his injuries a short time later. Nearby residents told the ECHO they heard a "loud bang" shortly after 11pm and "lights and sirens" as the road was closed. Eye witnesses reported seeing desperate attempts to save the man's life.
