An officer from Lancashire Road Police tweeted: "Car had aquaplaned, struck the barrier in the central reservation then onto the nearside grass verge where it overturned. Thankfully no injuries. Reason for loss of control was soon obvious - lack of tread on rear offside tyre."

Highways England put a one lane closure in place due to the collision.
