This made the news last night. They said that there had been four deaths on this stretch of road thus far since the hard shoulder was removed and showed a historic interview with the chief of police for this area, who predicted accidents/fatalities.

They also showed where the latest death took place. Next to what was the hard shoulder, there is a grass verge, I think it would have been sensible for them to move onto this rather than exchange details in a live motorway lane.
