Appeal after man seriously injured in M40 collision

Police are appealing for witnesses following a collision involving several vehicles and a pedestrian on the M40 on Saturday (21 September).

It happened at around 8pm. Officers believe a number of vehicles collided with a man in his 30s on the northbound carriageway between junction 11 for Banbury and junction 12 for Gaydon.

The man was taken to hospital with serious injuries to his legs.

PC Craig Pearson from the Warwickshire Police Serious Collision Investigation Unit said: “We’re currently carrying out enquires to establish how the man came to be on the M40 and the exact circumstances leading up to the collisions.

“We believe a number of vehicles collided with him and others swerved to avoid him. It is also possible that someone might have collided with him without realising.
