Police are appealing for witnesses after a pedestrian was seriously injured on the southbound carriageway of the M6.
Offices were called at 5.04am on Sunday, April 21, near Lancaster to reports of a crash.
A Ford Transit van had hit a pedestrian who had been walking in lane one of the carriageway.
The pedestrian, a man in his 30s, suffered serious injuries and is currently in hospital.
Sgt Pete Fyans said: “First and foremost, our thoughts are with the pedestrian as he undergoes treatment in hospital for his injuries.
“We are appealing for any witnesses who saw the collision between the van and pedestrian, to come forward.
“We appreciate traffic would have been very light at that time of the morning but there would still have been vehicles using the motorway.
“If anyone has dashcam footage from that stretch of the motorway around 5am on Sunday, that could be of assistance to us.”
Anyone who may have witnessed the incident or may have dash cam footage is asked to call 101 quoting log 0288 of April 21 or email the serious injury collision unit at SCIU@lancashire.police.uk.
