Overview
- Northamptonshire Police said a white Mercedes struck the nearside barrier on the northbound M1 near junction 15 at about 10:40pm, and the driver was pronounced dead at the scene.
- Officers from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit are seeking witnesses and relevant dash-cam footage after the northbound carriageway was closed for hours for inquiries.
- Macclesfield confirmed McLeod’s death and opened a book of condolence for supporters to pay respects that will be shared with his family.
- Wolves described themselves as heartbroken, pledged support to McLeod’s younger brother Conor in their under-21s, and will hold a minute’s silence before Saturday’s match against Brentford.
- The forward, who spent a decade in Wolves’ academy before joining Macclesfield in July, had been a substitute in the 2-1 win at Bedford Town earlier that night, and the club’s upcoming fixtures, including Saturday’s trip to Alfreton Town, remain under review.
