A man has died after being hit by a van on the M9, near Dunblane.
The pedestrian was struck by Ford Transit van around 8.30pm on Monday.
Emergency services were called to the northbound carriageway but the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
The incident forced the closure of the road between junction 10 Craigforth and junction 11 at the Keir roundabout for five hours while an investigation was carried out.
A Police Scotland spokesman said: “Tragically, this incident has resulted in the pedestrian’s death and we are in the process of investigating the circumstances surrounding the collision.
“Police are also conducting enquiries to identify the male and no further details on his identity can be released at this time.
“Anyone with information that can assist officers with their investigation are asked to contact police immediately.”
The crash comes just weeks after a van driver was killed in the same area on October 23.
The 47-year-old was driving his Ford Transit when he was in collision with the back of a Volvo flatbed lorry which was queuing in traffic approaching the Keir roundabout.
