A MAN in his eighties died on the M4 yesterday evening, and police are appealing for witnesses to come forward.
The incident happened around 9.40pm on Sunday, January 7, on the eastbound carriageway of the M4 between junctions 15 to 14.
The motorway was closed overnight into this morning as officers wanted to carry out an investigation during daylight hours.
