A 30-year-old man from the Wirral has now been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and drug driving. He is currently in custody, police said. The M53 was closed for several hours on Sunday while emergency services dealt with the incident. Detective Sergeant Kurt Timpson, Lead Investigating Officer from Merseyside Police's Serious Collision Investigation Unit (SCIU), said: 'Our thoughts are with the man's family at this sad time and they are being supported by specialist officers. "It is now a priority for us to get answers for them about how the collision occurred and my team are working to establish key facts. 'This collision happened on a busy part of the motorway network. Early enquiries show there were a number of vehicles in the area at that time, and I believe it may have been witnessed by members of the public or have been captured on dash cameras. "I would appeal directly to anyone who saw anything and who has yet to speak with my team to please get in touch. In addition, a male has been arrested in connection with this matter and remains in police custody. He will be interviewed by detectives later today.
