A man whose body was found on a major interstate highway could be the victim of a hit and run, police say.

Emergency services were called to the Pacific Motorway, which connects Sydney with Brisbane, near Tweed Valley Way at Chinderah about 5.30am on Monday.

Police said a body was found on the roadway outside the northern NSW town, which sits near the Queensland border.

A crime scene has been established as police investigate the circumstances, including the possibility that the man was killed in a hit-and-run incident.

He is yet to be formally identified.

Traffic diversions are in place and drivers have been urged to avoid the area and anyone with information about the incident or dashcam footage from the area is urged to contact police.
