Others involved in the incident have been taken to hospital with a “range of serious injuries.”
The crash took place on the Northbound slip road at Junction 26 Nuthall Interchange.
Both northbound and southbound carriageways were closed in the aftermath.
This was to allow emergency services to help those involved and investigate the accident.
The road has now been fully reopened.
Nottinghamshire Police are appealing for any witnesses of the incident to come forward.
This can be done through calling 101, quoting incident number 698 of July 11.

Police are also encouraging anyone who might have dashcam footage of the crash to send this on to the authorities.
Investigation Officer Sophie Law, of Nottinghamshire Police’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: “This was a tragic incident and we have specialist officers supporting the man’s family at this incredibly sad time.
“Our investigation continues and we ask anyone who saw the collision or who has any information that could help to contact us as soon as possible.
“We’d be keen to hear from people driving in the area around the time it happened who may have dash cam footage.
“I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank the members of the public who were on scene at the time of the incident and went out of their way to heroically help people involved in the collision.
“We know that this caused a significant backlog of traffic on the M1, so we appreciate the patience of those who were caught in it as officers worked.”
