The victim has not yet been formally identified but his next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specially-trained officers, Bedfordshire Police said.

Sergeant Tim Davies, from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire road policing unit, appealed for any witnesses to the incident to contact them.

He said: 'Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the victim at this time.

'I would urge anyone to contact us as soon as possible if you witnessed the collision or were driving along the A6 at that time and saw the incident, especially if you have a dash cam fitted to your vehicle.'
