Yahoo News Man dies after falling from bridge over M25 in Surrey
A man has died after falling from a bridge on the M25 in Surrey. Surrey Police announced the tragic death after the man fell from a bridge, between junction 6 and 7, at around 5:45pm on Friday (April 19).
The man was pronounced dead at the scene and while the death is thought not to be suspicious, enquiries are ongoing to work out what happened. In a statement late on Friday evening, the force said the motorway had been closed in both directions between Godstone and Merstham, just south of Caterham, but the road had since reopened going anticlockwise.
As of Saturday morning (April 20), the orbital motorway had reopened in both directions. A Surrey Police spokesperson said: "We are appealing for information after a man died after falling from a bridge on the M25 this evening (Friday, 19 April).
"Officers were called at around 5:45pm. The man was sadly pronounced dead at the scene." They continued: "His next of kin have been informed. Enquiries are ongoing to establish the circumstances, but the death is not thought to be suspicious."
