No one from any of these vehicles was injured.
The road was closed for around six hours to allow for an investigation at the scene and has since reopened.
Sergeant Gemma Blackadder, of the Road Policing Unit, in Motherwell said: “Our thoughts are with the man’s family and friends at this difficult time.
“Our enquiries to establish the full circumstances which led to this incident are ongoing and I would urge anyone with information to get in touch.
“We would also be keen to speak to anyone who may have dashcam footage from the area.
“You can call police on 101, quoting reference 2829 of 7 December.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.

That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
