A WOMAN has been left fighting for her life in hospital after a car crashed into her on the motorway
A Mercedes A180 collided with the woman, who is in her 40s, and she is currently being treated for multiple serious injuries and is in a critical condition.
Emergency services were called to the westbound carriageway of the M55, near junction 2 for Cottam, 10:29 pm last night following a report of a road traffic collision.
Sgt Bex Price of Lancs Roads Policing Unit said: “My thoughts are first and foremost with the woman and her family as she undergoes treatment in hospital.
“As we investigate what happened, we are asking for anyone who witnessed the collision or has dashcam footage from the motorway around the time, to contact us.
“If you saw a pedestrian near to the carriageway in the minutes before the collision, we also want you to get in touch.”
The road was closed whilst the emergency services dealt with the aftermath of the crash.
“We recognise the closure impacts on other road users, however it is vital that the collision is investigated fully,” added the officer.
Anyone with information should contact police on 101, quoting log 1461 of 18th October, or email the Serious Collision Investigation Unit at SCIU@lancashire.police.uk.
