A driver remains in a critical condition following a four-vehicle collision on the M1 last night. Emergency services were called to the scene close to the Blacks Road junction at around 6:40pm, and the motorway was closed in both directions for a number of hours, which caused a build-up of traffic in parts of the city.
The drivers of the vehicles were taken to hospital but it is understood that three have since left following treatment for their injuries.
Police are appealing for anyone who was on the motorway at the time and may have witnessed the crash or the moments prior to contact them.
Road Policing Sergeant Boyd: said: “Four vehicles were involved in the collision, which occurred on the westbound section of the motorway approaching the Blacks Road junction at around 6.40pm.
“The drivers of the four vehicles were taken to hospital. Three have since left hospital after treatment to injuries which are not thought to be serious at this time. The other driver remains in a critical condition.
“The vehicles involved were a black Audi Q5, a grey Peugeot 207, an orange Dacia Duster and a grey Mercedes CLA.
“We would appeal to anyone who was on the motorway at that time, who witnessed the collision or the events leading up to it, to contact police on 101, quoting reference 1403 of 23/01/25. We are particularly keen to hear from anyone with relevant dashcam footage.”
