Police are appealing for witnesses to contact them as soon as possible.
Sergeant Steven Love said: "This is a truly tragic incident and my thoughts are with the family and friends of the victim.
"It is quite rare for a wild boar to be on the carriageway of the motorway.
"It is more common for the police to receive calls involving horses or deer but each is equally dangerous to motorists.
"This was a particularly large wild animal and would have caused considerable damage to any vehicle."
Anyone with information is asked to contact PC Mark Cargill via 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where information may be left anonymously.
Wild boar roam free in areas of British countryside and are usually active at night. Males can weigh up to 175kg.
