The Kia driver was taken to Royal Preston Hospital with chest and pelvic injuries where he remains in a serious but stable condition.

Officers are asking any witnesses to come forward. Sgt Dave Hurst said: “We are still investigating what caused the Kia to go into the central reservation and so we need anyone who may have seen it to speak to us.

“We know it was a busy time of the day on the motorway and so someone must have seen something.”

Police have advised if anyone has any information, to email [email protected] or call 101 quoting incident reference 1136 of November 1.
