Officers are appealing for witnesses after a van collided with a pedestrian on the M40 this morning.
At around 1.38am on 16 February officers were called to reports of a disturbance at motorway services on the M40.
They arrived moments later to find that a male had started to walk southbound on the motorway.
He had reached a point between the Barnhill Services and Junction 12.
A that point a van collided with the man leaving him unconscious.
The white panel van which reportedly struck the male did not stop.
The officers managed to get the male to safety and delivered first aid at the scene while waiting for paramedics to arrive.
The male was then taken to UHCW with head injuries and he remains there at this time.
Anyone who witnessed the incident, or anyone who has dash cam footage of the van is asked to contact us by calling 101 or visiting www.warwickshire.police.uk/ro/report, citing incident number 18 of 16 February.
We would also like to speak with the driver of a light-coloured car, possibly an Audi, who swerved to avoid the male. Please get in touch if you were this driver as you may have vital information.
As is routine when police are in attendance at the time of such a serious incident, it was referred to our Professional standards Department who have made a referral to the IOPC.
