The driver of the Kia, 68-years-old from Inverness, is at Royal Preston Hospital with chest and pelvic injuries. His condition is described as serious but stable.

Lancashire Constabulary is 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.
